> Ive been trying to work on my current project but my workspace is so laggy that as I drag my camera around the workspace I can unintentionally delete giant things of code and I have trouble moving to where I’m trying to get to due to the lag. Im moving at around 2-4 fps

Try turning off your wi-fi or closing the game window or both

Without doing the obvious of using a better computer, here’s some suggestions:
**- close any other tabs or windows or programs open on your computer**
**- Right click on the workspace and click “collapse all” to hide most of the code**
- delete any greyed out / unused blocks lying around the workspace
- close the simulator (the pop up showing your game running) when you’re not using it
- Clear up storage space on your computer (if your computer is very close to full, it can cause lag)
- Use a new browser, chrome should be best
Other than that, the only thing left is to optimize the code, meaning you remake it in a way that uses less blocks. But the first two should help a lot— LMK if this works for you! ☺

Idk, collapse blocks you aren’t inspecting?
For non-function block containers, right click it then click “collapse” or something like that
You can also right click anywhere and click “collapse all” or something like that

collapsing the blocks really reduced the lag and deleting the greyed out blocks, thank you so much man!!!
