Hi

I took Rich's advice and now create my objects at the beginninig of a level and not on-the-fly. This did indeed solve the fluidity problem. Thanks!

Now I was wondering, is it more efficient to create objects and place them out of view(outside of the field of view) and move them in when needed or hide the objects and only show them when needed?

I would like to optimize my code as far as possible. Thanks for your help.

What would take less CPU time?

Hide them. The DB doesn't have to check whether to even draw them or not.
