Hello.
I previously had a static array where i entered the max amount of bullets as the size of array, for example 100. But i guess this isn't such a good approach for many things where the array size varies, so i heard vectors were a good option instead of arrays because you don't need to memory manage them like with a dynamic array.
But now i need some help in how i'm supposed to use the vector. This is what i have so far. it crashes when it goes into the function newBullet. The problem right now is that the bullet will not be affected by the box2d world. Gravity for example wont affect it.
struct sBox{
b2BodyDef myBodyDef;
b2Body* body;
