Wouldn't you have something like (typed straight into reply box so untested, but you get the idea):

Aliens:tAliens = new tAliens

Aliens.Add()
Aliens.Draw()

Type tAliens
  Field list:TList = New TList

  Method add()
    local alien:tAlien = new tAlien
    'set alien attributes here
    Self.list.AddLast alien
  End Method

  Method draw()
    Local alien:tAlien
    For alien = EachIn Self.list
      SetRotation alien.angle
      DrawImage alien.image, alien.x, alien.y
    Next
    SetRotation 0
  End Method

End Type

Type tAlien
  Field x:Float
  Field y:Float
  Field angle:Float
  Field image:TImage
End Type
