FallDown Game
Hello, I am currently working on a port of the Falldown game, if you don't know what it is you can search for a flash version on the internet.
For those who know what I am talking I need help implementing the random platforms that scroll vertically on the screen. I have been thinking to either create them as lines or thin rectangles, maybe setting them up in an array. Since I am new to game programming how could I randomly display them off screen from the bottom and remove them from memory when they leave the top of the screen. Everything else about the game I have covered it just this part I need advise on to make it simple, easy, and convenient. Thanks

Create some class named Platform (or whatever you want), and add all the platforms on the screen into a List. When a platform reaches the top of the screen, remove it from the list and add another to the bottom of the list.

now you're making a rather large assumption as well (particularly, that learning leads to knowledge).
