disposing item in linked list, but not immediately
Author
I've a bunch of 'enemies' in a linked list, and when they are shot they must be disposed of. So I search in the list and adjust the list accordingly. But now a problem arises, I need to let the enemy 'live' for a while, but I want to dispose the enemy somewhat later, without searching the list again. How can I solve this problem. Do i need to set a pointer to that pointer in the list? And dispose this pointer later. yuk, getting complicated.
have a second list.
remove "dead" creatures from the first list, insert them into the second list.
then you can delete them from the second list when youare done with them
