Hi,
I am scrolling 5 sprites across the screen and at the moment am using the same code 5 times to do this. The variable names for the x positions are the same apart from the end number. ie xpos1, xpos2 ... xpos5.

how can I put this into a loop so that the looping variable will attach itself to the end of xpos?

Hope I made myself clear there

Thanks very much,
Jon

You don't want to do it like that, you want to do it like this!

Use an array...

Thanks BatVink,
It had crossed my mind that I could do it that way but I actually have 6 or so (sets of 5) variables to manipulate and so I would need 6 arrays. Isn't that inefficient?

If not then i'll do it your way. Unless anyone has any other suggestions.

Thanks again,
Jon

If you have 6 sets of 5 just dimension your array like

DIM TheArray(6,5)

Unless I've completely missed the target, then please tell me if I did.

No you're right, makes sense. I'll get on it. Thanks for all your help.

Cheers,
