structures

[Kevin]

As associative array can be used like a data structure where each dimension represents a element or series of elements.

put x_cor into arrayVariable["bullet01", "x"] 
put y_cor into arrayVariable["bullet01", "y"]

This could all be in a element called "bullets" 

put x_cor into arrayVariable["bullets", "bullet01", "x"]
put y_cor into arrayVariable["bullets", "bullet01", "y"]


How this helps.

Kevin
