Code

	int bulletObjectCount = 0; 
 
	orxSTRUCTURE *objectToCheck = orxStructure_GetFirst(orxSTRUCTURE_ID_OBJECT);
	while (objectToCheck != orxNULL){
		const orxSTRING name = orxObject_GetName(orxOBJECT(objectToCheck));
 
		if (orxString_Compare(name, "BulletObject") == 0){
			bulletObjectCount++;
		}
 
		objectToCheck = orxStructure_GetNext(objectToCheck);
	}
 
	//bulletObjectCount contains the total amount of active BulletObject(s).
