Hello!

Basically, my question is this:  When making computer games, is it more worthwhile (judging by real time investment and computing power required) to redraw the whole screen every frame or just redraw the pixels that have changed.

Reason for asking:  I am attempting to make simple computer games (using Java). Because of how simple my games are at this time, this won't affect me much, but I wanted to ask so that I know for the future.

Thanks for your time!
