But not sure how once multiple of the same the building has been built to save where it has been placed and save any info for each one. So you can quit and come back later I could do if there was one buy idk with multiple. Thank you n/a

Assign an ID to each building type: 0-House 1-Farm 2-Kitten Factory Then when the user places a building you could store it's ID and position data in an ini file. So your ini would look sorta like this: [buildings] 0=0,200,200 1=0,200,220 2=1,50,30 So that would be two Houses one at 200x200 and one at 200x220 then a Farm at 50x30. You'll also need the string parser object to parse the data. Anyway I know I left a lot of details out, but perhaps that'll get you on the right path. n/a

You can also look up the concept of tilemaps if you don't want to use 2D coordinates. The problem with (a multiple of the same) active objects in KNP/TGF/MMF is: you don't know to which one you are referring unless something happens with that object. For instance: there is a collision with the active or someone clicks on it. Of course there are some ways around this problem. Also your game would be very similar to a level editor. Happy coding, Jenswa jenswa.neocities.org
