faster star fields

This is my very first Scratch piece, so go easy on me! I tried reproducing something I've done in other tools, flying through a star field. Here's the Scratch version so far:

and here's exactly the same math going on in Flash:

Now, aside from the antialiasing and perfect math in Flash that I can't do in Scratch, what should I be doing to improve the performance of Scratch?

How do I hide the variable watcher fields too?

Re: faster star fields

By each variable is a check box - unclick it and there will not show (on how to get rid of the variable boxes)

Re: faster star fields

Thanks, I did wonder what those checkboxes did!

Of course, everyone reading this thread will be confused now, because I've updated the file, and there are no variables there now. The performance didn't really change.
