most efficient way to implement bullets

[noah]

Hi,
I was trying to add bullets to the game I'm working on, but came across a couple of problems. Firstly, I am probably going to need a function updateBullets() so that the game can continue while bullets are moving, etc. Also, I only want a maximum of three bullets allowed at a time. I am not sure how to implement these things. I was thinking possibly with an array that stores the bullet x and another for the y, and then changes the amount on each call of updateBullets() but I'm not sure. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance, Noah

Yeah, the basic idea is to make an array of bullets, you make a class Bullet with the data for the positions and then methods like updating etc. and then loop through said array each frame and update all the bullets.
