What is the best way to hold and keep track of your objects, I know DarkGDK has an integer ID system, does this mean that there is an array somewhere and the ID is the element number? or is it another structure and if so, what is the best structure for these kind of objects?

I ask as I am implementing something similar and I am thinking about using integer ID's for my collision boxes and holding them in an array as I thats all I have ever used.

One thing I dont understand is in GDK you can give objects any ID you like (5000, 12, 10000000 etc..), how are these stored and accessed?

I use a map in my plugins , make a class or struct to hold your info and you can call it using an int id .

Thanks for link, used similar structures in Java but not C++.

Just spent ages getting an example of how to loop through the map, sorted it now though.

Thanks again.
