Is it possible to have multiple images in one 2 dimisional array, that have different sizes?

yes, but you'd need a second array to contain array positions. For instance:
put (x, y), imgarray (imgindex(2)) The other option is to allocate a space large enough so that it encompasses each image, and then just mathematically figure where each one is: put (x, y), imgarray (2 * 2000) EDIT: just read more closely. No. you can't. you can create variable length strings in an array, but you can't use it with get/put.

So I couldn't do:
Code: [XXXX Image 1 XXXX|XX Image 2 XX| XXXXXX Image 3 XXXXX]Where everything between [ and ] is the array, and the |s separate the images?

yeah, but it would be slow as hell to refer to because you have to scan the entire array for the delimeter. and you couldnt use one of the 255 colors. the easier way to just make two arrays, one being an index, with the element that contains the start of each image.

I think the reason one of my progs is so slow is that I'm loading an image, PUTting it, and then erasing it to save mem.

especially for this game, where any graphics can pop up at any time. if you have graphics sets, it makes sense to load only the ones that will appear....

... and my guess is you're loading new graphics from the file each time. yeah, if you need extra mem, i'd go with ems/xms.

next, but the data space each image resides in has to be the same as for all other images, and it has to be large enough to hold your largest image.

yeah. load one set each level, and if it takes up your near memory then try ems/xms and a sprite routine that lets you refer to addresses and offsets instead of array name.
