How do you use arrays

The help forum on arrays isn’t really helping me and I’ve needed to use it for a long time now

Do you mean the chapter "Arrays" in "BASIC Tutorial for Beginners" is not helping? What is unclear?

The easiest way is to see your own work redone with arrays... it should work instantly... if not, please post any questions :)

Also, posted a remix version with cars that try to hit the runners ;)
Did not have to use arrays for moving the cars ;)
Had to use arrays to adjust runner position when hit...

Thanks I kind of get it now after looking at my own game using arrays

It does help seeing the same written one way, then the other way :)
Easiest way is to see it as...
X1
X2
X3
Is the exact same as
X(1)
X(2)
X(3)
Only difference is that usually loops help process them ...
FOR I=1 TO 3
X(I)=8
NEXT I
Which is the exact same as
X(1)=8
X(2)=8
X(3)=8

Yeah I figured that out I just programmed a little program using arrays

I also used a special way to load data that takes up less space...
FOR I=1 TO 5
READ RY(I)
NEXT I
DATA 8,24,40,56,72
Is exactly the same as ...
RY(1)=8
RY(2)=24
RY(3)=40
RY(4)=56
RY(5)=72
The DATA is READ in order ...
