  Yeah I agree it'd be better if they were a tiled background, but I wanted to create a forest that was a physical challenge to get through...so its hard to walk through the trees.

  See what I mean here:

  I think I've pushed this as far as I can for now, so going to try a different approach altogether now...

  Thanks a lot for the tips. That 'invert' feature seems useful.

  So anything off-screen is automatically not used...thats interesting. I guess I need to come up with a different solution to my lag...

  thanks again :)

  Ooh thanks, I wasn't aware of that option. It hasn't solved my issue but its good to know its there!

  I am now thinking I should set up some kind of boolean... so have the boolean set to true (visible) when on-screen, but set it to false at all other times...

  Still struggling to figure it out without an 'off-screen' setting:

  'Inverse'? No, what is that?

  I am trying to do something which seems simple, but for some reason isn't!

  I simply want to know how to make a sprite invisible if it is off the screen. There is a 'on screen' setting, but not an 'off screen'. Any ideas?

  Basically, I have a forest full of trees, all individual sprites. The game lags a lot though because there are hundreds of sprites. I simply want to try and make it so that all of the trees are invisible, unless the player is near them. That way, all the off-screen trees won't be using up memory...
