Game is really laggy, how do i fix it?

Hello friends,

My game is very laggy on flash, but not as bad on android. i have done where whenever an actor leaves the screen to kill it and that helped a little, but how do i make it better? it just is very slow.

Heya,

Suggestions:
-reduce the amount of actors active
-depending on your game, try changing the physics settings , or disable physics for actors that don't need it
-inspect your codes for performance drainers, more specifically these - always, collisions, timers
-test on a different computer, could be something wrong with the flash application
-lower the screen size for flash

Last thing you can do is to debug it by disabling/removing codes/actors in order to isolate the cause of the lag.

I haven't been around for a long time so if something is inaccurate please let me know.

You are up to date as far as I see

Additionally... check if continuous collision is turned on. You most likely won't need it and turn it off.

This is probably obvious but just incase you overlooked it remove any debug statements in your code.

I am not sure for this one: even if you do not have any collisions on, enabling the continuous collision still seems cause lag.
