Multiple sprite/image instances

[jim89]

Hi,
i am using a custom number font to display 12 individual units hit point values on the screen at the same time. So i have 10 images 0-9 and i can't figure out how to get say the image of "1" onto the screen in maybe 12 or even 24 different positons at the same time.

I belive the answer may lye in dynamicly creating the image sprites, so that the image can be displayed on the screen as many times as i like using different variable names. But i'm not sure how to do this.

Would be great is someone could explain how to do this.

Ok silly me,
Was over complicating the issue when i had the right answer from the start. For anyone asking the same question as me:

e.g.
private void paintSprites(Graphics g) {
Vector vOfSprites = new Vector();
*Declair your sprites here*
*loop through the vector as many times as needed adding each sprite each loop, you may need to be creative here*

for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
Sprite temp = vOfSprites.elementAt(i); // the sprite location is copied
temp.paint(g); // the sprite is printed to screen
}

}
