AllanR,
Thank you so much. I think I'm finally starting to understand arrays.
..... and now I have more questions.
I haven't used arrays before, because I can't figure out how to pull information out of them, but mostly because I need a visual. So I built one.
I'm wondering:
1. How do I know what is in which grid?
2. I added another row of 5 level icons, I now have room for 30 levels, do I change Y 26 to Y 31?
3. I have 7 more items that the player will collect (8 total including the gold stars), but never more than 3 in any level. The next level the player will need to collect apples and oranges. How do I edit the array for the other 7 items, especially when the player will be collecting more than 1 item?
Hope I'm not asking to many questions.
Thanks again.
