Subject: Re: Writing a game, trying to make dynamic loops

Hi Calvin,

Hmm...okay, that makes sense.  I'm reading through the Book of Ruby, but 
I got caught up with making objects via:

player1 = Player.new

The looping now works, but I'm stuck with storing this data properly.

puts("How many players?")
players = gets().to_i
x = 1
players.times do
  puts("Name of player #{x}?")
  Player.new(gets())
  x += 1
end

What could I add within the loop to make these new players store as a 
variable I can recall?  What can I add to a basic variable to add in 
which player the loop is currently on as an additional character in the 
variable?  Is it something like this?:

player#{x} = Player.new(gets())

Thanks for your time (and patience)!
