skywalk,
The solution I am using is storing the info in Data statements and doing I think basically what you are saying
For l=1 To 40
Read a
AddElement(set())
set() = a
Next

skywalk, how do you add hundreds of items to a list, is it really a long section of code filled with,

AddElement(MyList())
MyList() = x

This is so inefficient, ugly and bloating code, even with copy and pasting.
I just can't believe there is not a easy way to create a list of data.

Is there a way to take a set of information and create the list directly with it without using the addelement command

For example,
I have a set of numbers 1,2,3,4,5,8,9,11,15,17,19,45,65,78 and so on could be a really big set
I want to have them all in a searchable list or other item like an array ...

Is there a way to use #PB_Event_CloseWindow to close a child window and not close all the windows?

Thank you for your help I was able to get it to work and understand a little more. I made a little snow falling effect to try it out

If InitSprite() = 0 Or InitKeyboard() = 0
MessageRequester("Error", "Can't open the sprite system", 0)
End
EndIf

Global screenwidth=1280
Global screenheight=1024 ...

";we can only delete the currently active element!"

assuming i'm moving images and when they move off the screen I can do it like,

cycle thru a list with foreach and checking say boundries of the screen and if the current object is out of boundry and I want to get rid of it I can just ...

I am looking for any good examples of using structures, storing them in lists, adding and removing from the list.

I think I have structures down but not lists and not using them together.

Thank you

I used Samuel's Terrain Generator to learn how to do a lot of this so far. Mine is somewhat simpler in design as I can use some preset values. His has one texture that is used for each grid tile on the map.

I'm not very good with 3D. Have always done 2D on everything in the past because I just do ...

I want to create a world drawn from a height map that the heights can be adjusted.

So what I have is the height map loaded into a array that can be manipulated.
I create a mesh with the array data.
I create a entity with the mesh.

Works great
except I can only have one texture for the entity ...
