Morning watch, 4 bells (6:06 am)
If you recall my last MULE episode, I was torn between drawing tiles individually and having the drawing done from a central widget. I tried the central widget idea last night and was able to draw 1,035 PNGs to the screen per second without really tapping the CPU at all. I wasn’t sure this model would work, but it seems to work quite well.
I wasn’t sure this would work due to the high number of images. I thought I’d have to go down the double-buffering route to make this idea work, but I ended up not having to do anything special whatsoever. Color me surprised.
