A possible way to avoid having to remember object numbers and the like. The functions could be altered to work for images, sprites, or whatever you need. (See attached source code).

I manage all media with a typed array
eg:

Monster(1).Hitpoints

IT still uses a numbered sequence but dang its sweet to manage.

Replace the for-next with while-endwhile because you waste a lot of cpu time going through the entire 65535 numbers, when the free space was object number 1 after all. Hehe, didn't I post something like this here before?

Whoops! Sorry, this line:

if object exist(i)=0 then free=i

should be:

if object exist(i)=0 then free=i: exit

Then it will stop when it finds it.
