Known Subclasses:: Multi, SpriteGroup

A sprite group that's more efficient at updating. This group supports drawing to the screen, but its draw method also returns a list of the Rects updated by the draw (and any clears in between the last draw and the current one). You can use pygame.display.update(renderupdates_group.draw(screen)) to minimize the updated part of the screen. This can usually make things much faster.
