Hello,

I am creating a simulation of walking entities in an empty room. I am creating the entities dynamically. I am using an array for this. But i have been advised in the tutorials not to use arrays for large numbers.

Right now am running at 100 entities. am planning for 10 000 entities. What is the solution for storing them if not arrays ?

The example is shown below


Thnx.

For c-script? Lite-c?
c_script: if not for arrays, I don't know what else :P
lite-c: google for linkedlist, some members here have contributed a linkedlist as well.

Hello,


This also depends on how the data needs to be accessed.
If you need sequential access a linked list will be fine.
However, if you need to search for specific data other data structures are much better (eg. binary trees).

I have written scripts for doubly linked lists and AVL-trees, but commentation and documentation is german only.

i think linked list should be fine. I am just creating 10000 entities right now.

dummy had entity linked list plugins for C-script & A6.60, but you are probably using A7, and / or Lite-C, so that won't be relevant to you.
