Say I would like to create a space invaders game. I want to have a list of aliens, enemies, bullets, and other objects, that each have an assigned ID (as I assume this is how it's done in real games) then assign them to a list of currently in-use objects that can be changed at any time. I'm assuming you'd need Copy commands to set up a list, but I really don't know. There doesn't seem to be an ICE tutorial on this. Any help appreciated!Smile
Use the CopyData command to send data to a list. You don't have to create your own list, you should utilize L1-L6, the 6 default lists on your calculator. No need to have an id for each invader, just have a type, an x, and a y. So that's three bytes for each. Here is an example of copying data for the invaders:

Code:
//type = 0, x = 10, y = 15
//the 1 is because you are using 1 byte values
CopyData(L1, 1, 0, 10, 15
//now, to add a second one, you have to increment the L1 pointer by 3 bytes
CopyData(L1 + 3, 1, 0, 5, 25
