I would really suggest using the sprite util extension by @jwunderl. Here’s a demo:
What the math is basically doing is first storing speed and angle data in each sprite, which is then changed based on distance between sprites. I could only run about 60 sprites before it started to lag, so I’m sure there’s a more efficient way of doing this.
Let me know if this helped! I can give further explanation if needed.

Sprites lag a ton so drawing images to the screen would be more efficient (if not also a lot more complicated)

Here’s a version using just a bunch of arrays for images instead of sprites:
This looks choppier in my opinion in the case of movement, but now I could get up to 200 biodes without it lagging!
