Hi, Im using a variable called max. then i have many global variables using it. in my main loop ( a do loop) when i try to incease max, its array accessed out of bounds...How can i increase max during my loop with out getting this error? because max determines how many enemies there are, and periodicly in my game, i want it to increase, thus theres more enemies.

I know you'll not like it, but this is not possible...

It'll be better that you create an array big enough to store everything in the entire game.



Also a possibility (but causes a slowdown) is creating two arrays instantly to increase the max:


Just some quick examples. I know it's hard to get around it.

No - that's only if you want to use the value of enemies in the DIM statement.

What Sven is saying is that you make the array HUGE then it won't matter how big Max gets during the game, it will never try to access an element of the array bigger than you dimensioned it.

And yes... I am scared. Very scared!
