- Adaptive_tile_refresh abstract "Adaptive Tile Refresh is a computer graphics technique for sidescrolling games, invented by id Software's John Carmack to compensate for the poor graphics performance of PCs in the early 1990s. Its principal innovation was a novel use of several EGA hardware features to perform the scrolling in hardware. The technique is named for its other aspect, the tracking of moved graphical elements in order to minimize the amount of redrawing required in every frame. Together, the combination saves the processing time that would have been required for redrawing the entire screen.Because CGA (the previous generation of PC graphics hardware) lacked features for scrolling in hardware, scrolling would previously have had to be done in software, by redrawing the entire screen for every frame – a task which PCs of the time lacked the performance to carry out. Adaptive tile refresh minimized the computing power required for sidescrolling games to within the reach of available hardware, and thus made such games possible on the PC for the first time.The technique was eventually used to create the PC's first sidescroller, Commander Keen.".
