Okay it doesn't seem like it's fixing the lag. At least it did fix the problem of audio crashing (apparently you can't have more than 140 sf::Sound objects in memory). I will try to fix the problem tomorrow because my adderall is wearing off.

So, I think I fixed the lag problem, key word being "think". So, in SFML, you have two objects for sounds: sf::SoundBuffer and sf::Sound. The sound buffer just loads the sound file. And sf::Sound is an instance of said sound with a pointer to the buffer. Up until now, I have every game object holding all of the sounds they play in their own sf::Sound objects. I thought it wouldn't be a strain on the memory because the actual sound data is stored in the buffers, but now I have a singleton class to handle all the sound playing.

I've noticed that there is somewhat less lag when there is a clutter of cars, but I haven't truly verified that yet. I haven't done it on a huge cluster of cars. Anyway, this should be a good thing, because the game is piss easy right now with amount of enemies on-screen.

Now, I'm working on a high score table. I got it to load random scores from a text file and sort them by score using the insertion sort algorithm.
