Ok ive done a bit of thinking, ive just seen the biggest problem! You are repeating the load image command, so the program has to load the image 100's of times a secound, try using my version of your code:

sync on

load image "Image 2.bmp", 1
set image colorkey 0,255,0
sprite 1,200,200,1
set sprite priority 1,1
scale sprite 1,30

do
hide mouse

sprite 1,mousex(),mousey(),1

sync
loop

SET IMAGE COLORKEY must be used *before* you load any images.

It doesn't make any sense to hide the mouse from within your main loop. Hide it before the loop. You should only have the code moving sprite 1 (the ship) in the do - loop.

btw, why dont you just hide the mouse at the start instead of looping it along with everything else?

basically Hunter, you put all of the code to setup the program at the beginning of your code, anything that only needs to be done once, such as loading images, sounds, models, shaders, setting up arrays, loading the environment, etc.., and within the loop, only type code to modify the current state of the all ready setup program, such as moving the character, looking around, attacking, playing sounds, displaying images, ect... you really want to anything that takes a while before the game starts (as in a loading screen). Loading files takes longer than displaying the pre-loaded file. I hope this makes sense.

That shouldn't even compile, you're loading the same image ID multiple times. You should be getting an "image already exists" error.
