LÖVE

Unfortunately, Love doesn't receive expose (redraw) events. This means that you still have at least to redraw a canvas every frame.

Actually, in love.run, the graphics are cleared every frame. You could easily write a system that only draws a frame if something has changed.

Yes that's what I was hinting at. You could reduce the redrawing to a smaller amount. But it is still recommended to redraw often to remove artifacts as they appear.

When the window is partially or totally hidden, and then made visible again, if you don't redraw at that point then the previous contents of the window won't be there. Redrawing less often could be a workaround, yes, at the cost of a bit of responsiveness.

If the application runs on a device connected to a power socket, this Isnt an issue, correct?

When the app is paused on android it will be stoped and not spending any resourses, correct?

Yes to both, if programmed correctly.
