I have a lot of balls moving around and what not, I want to focus on the largest concentration of them balls dynamically. Once there's a bigger congregation somewhere else, it scrolls-to there.

Any ideas how I can do this cheaply CPU wise?

Every n seconds

->for each sprite

-->system set variable aveX to aveX+sprite.x

-->system set variable aveY to aveY+sprite.y

->system set aveX to aveX/sprite.count

->system set aveY to aveY/sprite.count

Every Tick

->system scroll x to lerp(scrollx, aveX,scrollspeed*dt)

->system scroll y to lerp(scrolly, aveY,scrollspeed*dt)

Edit:

Would that be a good idea for an system expression? Ashley

Sorry should have said to zero out the aveX, and aveY at the beginning.

Thank you it works well!

Thank you for your help. Hope it's not too hard on cpu, the game is supposed to be mobile :)
