| You only have a single snow object, of which you are replacing the Field values in your loop. You probably want to have a List/Array of snow objects : 
...
Global snowList:TList = New TList
...
For i=1 To Snow_Max-1
    Local s:Snow = New Snow
    s.x=Rnd(Snow_Max)
    s.y=Rnd(10)
    s.Speed=Rnd(1,3)
    snowList.AddLast(s)
Next
...
      For s= Eachin snowList
         Plot(s.x,s.y)
         s.y=s.y+s.Speed
      Next
...
and use Strict or SuperStrict, so that the compiler can catch some basic coding mistakes. |
