this is probably a dumb question:

im working on a 2d tile engine and am wondering if it is faster to just repaint all tiles during every pass through the game loop or paint all the tiles onto an offscreen bitmap and only repaint it if the camera moves. After I paint the tiles I paint the animated sprites ontop of everything. I can test this out but was wondering if somebody already knew so i could save some time.

Also Ive seen some code examples where people paint their tiles as sprites instead of just images. are there advantages/disadvantages to this? from what i saw making the tiles sprites caused tearing whereas just pasting images was much smoother
