Ah, then what you need is not a 2D array - and yes, that array is way
too large.
What you have there is a set of objects. Some are mobile (players,
monsters). Some are not (trees, rocks). Some can change state (objects
that can be carried).
The way that I have always implemented this is to give each object a
location and then iterate through the objects to see which are near the
object that I am processing at the time. Collections (a bit like an
array but more flexible) would be good for this.

um... it is ware you can walk around and pick up things etc. but I tried
to compile that and it said the array was to large, is there another way
I could do this?

Hi Tyler,
Yes, you *could* do it that way. But that really has to be up
to you. Does your game design require an array that large? What
exactly will the array represent? How will the player interact with the
play area and the objects or avatars in it? We can't answer those kinds
of questions. That is a matter of design.

Ok, I have a question. I am making a game, and it has to
be like real life, no board. but how do I do this? do I create an array
like 1000000 by 1000000, and use a for loop to establish things such as
person and etc?
Thanks,
