i have an idea for an Android game which is a little different from the typical game that usually moves sprites(bitmaps) around the screen. Id want to plot lots of little pixels to create my visuals.

PROS

• no bitmaps required
• pixel plotting of stuff like "fire" can react to wind.
• no need to scale bitmaps, works w/ any screen res (lets pretend device can handle more drawing because its got a bigger screen).

CONS

• slower to plot pixels than blit bitmaps
• need lot of animation frames.

WISHES

• id like to update my game in real time, more is better 30fps is good but not essential, 15fps is enough.

PERFORMANCE Q...

• Is the typical Android device fast enough to plot say half a screenful of pixels w/ a default background ?
• if full screen is not practical what window size should be able to handle such refreshes
