Okay, I need to make a list of bullets. I have made a bullet class and everything, but I need a special list that will let me access all of the bullets in a while/for loop and be able to add and remove them at any time and never mess up. If I did this in a normal array I could do a for loop and access using an increasing number, but I wouldn't know when to stop. In a while loop, if I used while(bulletsArray[x] != null) and then increment x, after I remove my first bullet that say, hit a wall, it will stop there. I need help!

Thanks,

I think this will do:

ArrayList<Bullet> bullets = new ArrayList<Bullet>();
for (int i = 0; i < bullets.size(); i++) {
    Bullet bullet = bullets.get(i);
    if (bullet.needRemove()) {
        // I think this will work
        // bullets.remove(i--);
        // but usually I do
        bullets.remove(bullet);
        i--;
    }
}

Here I assume that you use ArrayList to store you bullets and your bullet's classname is Bullet. If you use a plain array to keep the bullets, consider change to ArrayList. It is more flexible. » Nat | Talk » 14:09, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
