Simple question:

I'm putting 100 dots on a random place on the screen. Now I want to be able to select them one by one and then move them (one at the time). Which method should I use here? (I was thinking about arrays, but I can't get it to work that way)

Array of TYPEs. Like, if each one has a color, x and y position, then this could be your code structure:

Code:
DEFINT A-Z

TYPE dot

   x AS INTEGER

   y AS INTEGER

 clr AS INTEGER

END TYPE

DIM dots(1 TO 100) AS dot

RANDOMIZE TIMER

'We fill the x, y and color values for each dot, randomly:

FOR i=1 TO 100

    dots(i).x=INT(RND * 320)

    dots(i).y=INT(RND * 200)

    dots(i).clr=INT(RND * 16)

NEXT

SCREEN 13

'Now to move each dot, just go through this routine:

FOR i=1 TO 100

    'now, access dots(i).x, dots(i).y, and dots(i).clr (x, y, and color of each dot)

    'in order to get the information you need to move them

NEXT

*cough* I guess I was just lazy, that's just too simple :lol: Thanks Tongue
