Hi GMC,

does GM literally uses different surfaces to place different layer assigned tiles or does the engine simply draws them in the corresponding order using the same surface?

i just want to wraps the inner workings better here.

Layers are used internally to establish draw order to the same application surface.

Depends on how many tiles. Drawing 10000 tiles takes longer than a 100 tiles, regardless of the number of layers.
