Sorry This tutorial is code only for now.

 Here's an alternative version of the above example.    This one uses  GetArrayCells() for to find free indexs within the Balls() array, then it uses the NULL writing to delete a type within the array.


PlayBASIC Code: [Select]
; Make a ball image
  Size=100
  CreateImage 1,Size,Size
  RenderPhongImage 1,Size/2,Size/2,$ffff8f,size*0.9,2.0

   Type tBall
         Status
         Xpos,Ypos
         SpeedX,SpeedY
           Image
           LifeTimer
           FlashToggle
   EndType

; create an array to house our list of balls

Do
   ; Clear the Screen

  UpdateBalls()
  
   ; Check for space key
  If SPacekey()=true and KeyPress=false

     ; Calc a random starting position for this ball
        Xpos=Rnd(GetScreenWIdth())
