Hi,
I built this game, Glimmer Tetris
It runs fast with a basic 2D look (each block is a path).
When I attempt to add a simulated bevel-block 3D look via 4 extra polygons per block where each polygon is a figure of multiple line calls done under a single path (similar to the Glimmer Tetris built with SWT)...
Area redrawing slows down to a crawl!
I ensured that only a single redraw is happening per movement of the Tetris tetromino blocks.
My question is: I could probably optimize performance by asking the area to redraw only the blocks that changed instead of the entire playfield.
How do I do that with libui? Is that option available? The only thing I saw is queueRedrawAll, which redraws everything.
Is that what save and restore are all about? Initial saving... restoring the whole area, making a small change, and then saving again? Does that improve performance?
If clipped redrawing is not available, this would be a great performance optimization feature to have I think.
