If you want to do something a little more complicated, this still does not mean drawing the whole thing and then redrawing the whole thing in a new position. You only have to change the bits that are going to move, and you can make these changes quite simple.

Have a look at the next animated gif, as an example. To see what was needed to make this gif file appear to move, have a look at the frames below.
