    <p>I'm developing a 2D game for the iPhone using OpenGL ES and I'd like to use a 320x480 bitmapped image as a persistent background. </p> <p>My first thought was to create a 320x480 quad and then map a texture onto it that represents the background. So... I created a 512x512 texture with a 320x480 image on it. Then I mapped that to the 320x480 quad. </p> <p>I draw this background every frame and then draw animated sprites on top of it. This works fine except that the drawing of all of these objects (background + sprites) is too slow. </p> <p>I did some testing and discovered that my slowdown is in the pixel pipeline. Not surprisingly, the large background image is the main culprit. To prove this, I removed the background draw and everything else rendered very fast. </p> <p>I am looking for advice on how to keep my background and also improve performance. </p> <p>Here's some more info:</p> <p>1) I am currently testing on the Simulator (still waiting on Apple for the license)</p> <p>2) The background is a PVR texture squeezed down to 128k</p> <p>3) I had hoped that there might be a way to cache this background into a color buffer but haven't had any luck with that. that may be due to my inexperience with OpenGL ES or it just might be a stupid idea that won't work :)</p> <p>4) I realize that the entire background does not always have to refresh, just the parts that have been drawn over by the moving sprites. I started to look into techniques for refreshing (as necessary) parts of the the background either as separate textures or with a scissor box, however this seems less than elegant. </p> <p>Any tips/advice would be greatly appreciated...</p> <p>Thank you.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
