Welcome PlayBasic programmers, in this tutorial we're going to introduce the concept of arrays starting out from variables. So first we build a simple game loop that controls two characters using only variables. The characters are represented on screen as filled circles.
After we get up to speed with the variable version we then move onto how we can use parallel integer arrays to store the various properties of the characters. The array version can control as many or as few characters as you like, which is the benefit of Arrays over Variables
