Frame Rate of my game is really confusing me.

The game i am making is 60 fps. My game is fine when a few moving actors are on a static screen. But, as soon as you start to scroll, the frame rate literally halfs. But what is even more annoying is that I played Bee-Ant's game, Winter Blast (which is also an executable) and that runs at perfect speed! So it may be my computer but it probably isnt. I really need help! :cry:

Thanks for your time,
BRD

I dont understand how he got his game to run full speed either O.on Lol :D

But a good way is to optimize your image size

Optimize the image size? what do you mean? Do you mean like make sure that the images are all a low resolution?

This may be a performance problem, not the frame rate.
Actualy when i ran Winter Blast on my old PC 900 Mhz 128 Mb RAM, its kinda slow though :P

Well, my main ways to keep the performance :
- small game resolution (my standart is 320x240, max 480x360)
- turn off actor's activity if out of vision
- avoid giga cloning (more than 500 clones)

Hang on.... those are quite small. How come you managed to get the game to run in full screen then? :P

config > Game properties > resolution and Fullscreen mode.
That's probably a factor.
