Well, using a list of each object would be more mem-efficient (unless
you have an object in every possible location), and faster for "does
anything of this type exist" searching, but on the other hand slower for
"what is the object in this spot" searching - you could make it faster by
keeping them in order, but it's probably not worth it to do that - try it
& see how slow it is - what I'm getting at is: you decide.
