Hi, Im creating a simple 2D game in VB6 and Im not sure what the best, quickest way is of drawing the background for the screen.

At the moment my background is stored in a bmp. A DX7 surface is created using this bmp. Then the sprites are added and lastly the surface is flipped to the screen.

Would it be faster if I created another surface with the background constantly on it. This surface could then be blitted to my buffer surface, sprites drawn and then flipped. Does that make any sense?
