looks kinda neat.

Just some optimisation thoughts:
-------------------------------
You could trim out



As it doesn't seem to be used.

instead of deleting and then re-instancing objects, could you not just reposition the one you were going to delete in the new ones place?

Not sure as to how much this would help but perhaps store object 1's position and rotation in variables to save having to make lots of calls to object angle x(1) etc...
-------------------------------

Not trying to dis your work, its great stuff Dave
