When you walk around, and get close to one edge of a level, the screen starts scrolling with your character.
I think he wants it so, like.. its just split into 4 parts. When you get into one part of the screen, it immediately focuses to that part, without any scrolling.
But scrolling doesn't put any real load on the computer. Even if you were to operate an only-draw-updated-areas system, you'd just move the screen a little bit and then draw the gap at the edge. Scrolling is never a problem.
