worldx() and worldy() - pretty slow?

I find gani scripts to buggy for nick/chat display. I just use a for (temp.p : players) loop that does a showimg for each player (on the level of course). The function for this I always call from my Movement script's onTimeout so I don't have to worry about that lag issue.

Hm. Well, might try that later.

What about if you use the player's x, y, and screenwidth to determine the x and y of the bounds of the current 'viewport'

ie. player's coords are (30,30), screenwidth is 1024, 30*16=480, the left bound should be playerx - 480 (give or take 16), and + 480 (or so) for the right hand bound. This could be locally run in a loop i think, though I am new to this language so I am not sure of it's loop/speed capabilities yet.

idk.. just an idea, hope you caught what I mean

I thought about using screenwidth and screenheight, but this wouldnt work when the player is near the level border and not centered anymore.
