Performance Optimization Techniques

This thread discusses techniques for optimizing Scratch projects performance to reduce lag and improve frame rates. Here are some core strategies:

• Limiting unnecessary costume changes
• Optimizing broadcast events for multiple sprites
• Using local variables when possible
• Minimizing overlapping scripts
• Simplifying complex conditional logic

when flag clicked
set [project speed v] to [100]
broadcast [run game v] and wait
              

Optimized Example

Instead of using multiple nested broadcasts in sprite scripts, consolidate game logic into a main controller with variables instead.
