Yes, I know all about types :) but just wondering if theres a particular reason (performance wise) why the following example is bad? (in relation to array use)

Open in online IDE

	Graphics3D 800,600
	camera=CreateCamera()
	light=CreateLight(1)
	RotateEntity light,90,0,0
	Dim sphere(100,1)
	For i = 1 To 100
		sphere(i,0) = CreateSphere()
		PositionEntity sphere(i,0),Rand(-10,10),Rand(-5,5),Rand(5,50)
		sphere(i,1) = i
		Next
	RenderWorld
	For i = 1 To 100
		CameraProject camera,EntityX(sphere(i,0)),EntityY(sphere(i,0)),EntityZ(sphere(i,0))
		Color 0,0,0
		Text ProjectedX(),ProjectedY(),sphere(i,1),1,1
		Next
	Flip
	WaitKey()
	End

Not concerned about the graphical "clutter" - thats just there for testing.
