Best way to globally store lots of bools?

[DinnerSonic]

Sorry to post another question thread, but it's hopefully not a big question this time. Got a minigame I'm working on that's due this Friday. There's multiple rooms and lots of coins that I'd like to only be collectible once.

I figured when loading the level is done I'd spread a value through each coin in the room to give them an ID of sorts, then check a list of bools/flags to see if each coin was collected and destroy them if so. Then if you collect a coin it'd turn on bool number alt value A so if you return it'd not reappear. Then each room would have a small ID number that decides which bool list to use.

Problem is, I don't know the best way to have such lists. I could use a generic array type object, but if I've got 200 or 300 coins total, that's 300 integers constantly in the memory isn't it? Meanwhile, Global Store X can store enough Bools, but I'm not sure how to separate each batch of coins without constant saving them to the disk every time the player exits a room, which seems silly for a minigame that otherwise doesn't save.

To summarize: I want to store a few sets of giant bundles of flags/bools in the memory globally to keep track of each room's collected coins. Or should I take the hit and just use an array instead?

It'll be easier on you're part to go with the array.

Specifically, when a coin is collected, save its fixed value to the array in the next position (if all the coins are created during edittime). Then when you reload the frame, check all the positions of the array. If you find a fixed value in the array, that means its be collected once and you can delete it next time
