As your world gets bigger and has more objects, your game will slow down
even more. (Even if you directly use openGL, I suspect, although I haven't
used it myself). You will need a spatial index. I have some code that i'm
willing to share, if you're interested (or anyone else here, drop me a
line).
I've dealt with this in my own game, handling thousands of such drawn
elements. Based on that I have two general suggestions:
1) If you've got performance bottlenecks, very often they aren't where one
first suspects! Better to break out a profiler and measure. That said, I
don't have any experienc

If the drawing of each object is just a blit call, then your checks are
probably just duplicating what pygame is alr
Typically, entities outside of the viewable area may not be updates or may
update at a much reduced frequency. This is true of even C++ games.

I am developing a game but I'm running into some cases where the game slows
down too much. A few details ...
The game lives in a world whose size is much larger than what the user can see
in the window. (For now, the world is 3000 x 3000, but the window is 640 x 640
- I could decide to change
