Sounds like the `math/array' library may be what you want: http://doc.racket-lang.org/math/array.html Non-strict arrays would probably be most appropriate, since they only compute element values (which, in your case, involves communicating with the server) when that element is accessed. http://doc.racket-lang.org/math/array_nonstrict.html As Sean said, you'll probably also want to batch communication as much as possible. I'm not familiar with the Minecraft API, so I don't know what the best way to do it would be. Also, you may want to have a look at this library, which seems to have a similar goal to yours: https://github.com/tonyg/racket-minecraft Vincent ____________________ Racket Users list: http://lists.racket-lang.org/users
