fill array

PT_

hi, another problem: you can i change the first 10 variables of an array? i've made an array with the x- and y-coördinate and the length + width of 10 cars, so there are 40 variables in the array. but in my game, these variables change. how can the array change together?

Be more specific, please: how should this variables change? Anyway, as GoToLoop suggested, you should consider the idea of using classes instead of arrays.

Hello,

without following gotoloops good advice:

You should post some code. ;-)

Anyway.

When you have an array x you can say

x[3] = x[3] + 5; 

so the x-position of car #3 would change by 5 (it drives right).

to make this easier you can write a for loop and say

(not tested)

for (i=0; i<x.length; i++) {

     x[i] = x[i] + 5;

} 

Thus you change all cars in 2 lines. Nice, right? You use the i value as an index.

When you want to have the car's speed be different, make a new array speed with holds the speeds btw. and say

(pseudo-code)

for i.........................

    x[i] = x[i] + speed[i]; 

Also when you display the cars, I hope you use the for-loop... ;-)
