k, I have made a maze out of loads of different size blocks (added textures) etc

It was fine with a small level (about 10-20 blocks) but now the finsihed level has 56 blocks, this has slowed the game down considerably..

Obviously, due to the camera being focused on the player object, i can only see 10 % of the maze at any one time..

Can any one suggest a snippet of code that will only calculate the blocks that are on screen and not the whole level ...

Thanks

are you using "sync on" and "sync"? they speed up the FPS a lot

Sync on at the beginning

It is. There are any number of bottle necks possible. What are your machine specs? How many polygons is your main player? Is backface culling turned off? What is the camera range set to? Etc...

I made a liitle loop that hides the objects that are further away and they reapear as they get within camera range...

Seems to work much faster...
