I'm attempting to code my own version of a Missile Command game. I've got it all thought out and actually already have made an object that will be able to move around the screen to a location at a decent clip. The problem is, when I have more than one object moving around the screen at a decent clip, it lags the computer like no other. The computer I am using to code on is a 3ghz P4 with 512mb of RAM, which is pretty hefty for a school computer.

So, I either need to redo my code to make my checks more efficient and thusly lag the computer less, or find a different library to work off of that might be a bit better for my needs.

I'm currently coding in my schools copy of JCreator 3.00 Pro.

If so desired I can post up the different classes in the wonderful code tagging we have for those who are really interested to mulch over.
