Ok Obvious point if you've thought of it, NOT an obvious point if you haven't, so no1 complain! lol
I was talking to a NooB (won't name names

) on Yahoo Messanger and they said they found it awkward to remember what numbers they had assigned to each object. He said it would be better if you could assign them a string. Whilst there are more complex ways to do this, a simple way round is:
load object "player1.x",1:
player1=1
load object "player2.x",2:
player2=2
etc. so instead of typing
"move object
1,10"
You can type
"move object
player1,10"

I know it can slow things down if you have thousands of variables, but for simple programs this is a good way not to forget stuff. Failing that write it down or keep a list in Notepad

lmao
