Is there a way to add many of one actor, in a small amount of code?

In the world class, I am trying to add around 70 instances of one class, however, to do this I must keep writing

object object = new object();
addObject(object,0,0)
object object2 = new object();
addObject(object,100,100)

and so on. I'm trying to optimize it so it won't take 140 lines of code to make. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

The first two lines can be done in one:

addObject(new object(),0,0);

For 70, you can write a for loop. It depends on where the objects should be added.

for (int i=0; i<70; i++) addObject(new object(), i*100, i*100);

But your world probably isn't 7000x7000 large, so maybe you will end up with this:

for (int i=0; i<10; i++) for (int j=0; j<7; j++) addObject(new object(), i*100, j*100);

That's perfect! Thank you so much! You may have just saved me hours of writing code!

Hi! Sorry this is quite an old post, but I'm just wondering if there's a way to change how close the objects are to eachother?

Change the 100 to something smaller.

Ah I see! I kept adding to that value, while I should have been subtracting from it. Thanks again!
