Part of the fun is trying to get the best highscore.

I didn't make these games but the are excellent vector shmups. And for those of you new tho the whole bullet hell thing, your ships hitbox is only a few pixels wide and in the center of your ship.

Well you might close other applications and turn off any hard hitters like NOrton. YOU might be able to config your graphics card too.

I can give you insight into why this is a memory eater if you don't program.

First the player ship must loop through all the bullets, for each bullet it must preform a chjeck to see it thebullet is inside the player hit area. So you are probably talking up to 300 calculations that are preformed about 60 frames a second. meanin the bullet checking alone is like 18000 calcs per second.

now add on the enemy collision checking, you probably have the enemy checking

the postions of the ship and taking damage at a fixed trate.
