It's been a long winter up in the East coast... Move the mouse around to play with the snow. 100% pen! . . . . . -Archived information, disregard.- When you've first loaded the project, it runs really slowly. However, if you see inside and change a script, it runs at normal speed... You can change the script back and it will continue to run at normal speed until the project is reloaded. Things I've noticed: You have to change a script while the project is stopped. Moving a script also counts as changing a script. The 'slow' speed is still faster than having screen refresh off. Making a copy of the project does not resolve the error. @djpro found the solution - set the sprite to not rotate.
