Create and manipulate objects?

[kevin06s]

I'm stuck with creating objects on the fly. I want to do something like:

class projectile {
...
}

int counter = 0;
if(leftclick) {
  projectile projx; //Where x is the counter variable
  counter++;
}

for(int i = 0; i < counter; i++) {
  proji.move(); //Again, I want to replace i with a variable number
}

No idea how to do that.

The best thing I could come up with is:

class projectile {
  bool active; //Constructor defaults to false
  ...
}

projectile projectiles[1001];

if(leftclick) {
  for(int i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
    if(projectiles[i].active == true) {
      continue;
    }
    else {
      projectiles[i].active = true;
    }
}

for(int i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
  projectiles[i].move();
}

There has got to be a better way...

Use an std::vector of projectiles.
