The site (listed in the first post) that I got most of the original code from only used the stack.. But for some reason that method would not compile.. so I just used malloc

But for the purposes I am using it for.. Performance is pretty much irrelevant unless the program is REALLY slow (I'm talking ~ 5fps) It currently runs at and around 400(with a level and entities+such).

As for evilSOB's code... I think I'll leave that to him to explain
