Re: pointers

["slick willy" <bporter@flashcom.net>]

i dont see anything wrong with the code you wrote, but if you want you could
always try:

*(WorldObjects[x]).structElement    or
(WorldObjects + x * sizeof(WorldObjects))->structElement    or
*(WorldObjects + x * sizeof(WorldObjects)).structElement

what you wrote plus those three above should (theoretically) give the same
results.
