Stupid screensaver help

[stev379]

Just for fun I'm trying to make a simple screensaver that looks like it's snowing (*). I've been able to get to point where the flakes fall at a slight different pace, but as you can see with the example code below, it ain't perfect. I can't get it to work in an array loop. I only posted enough that covers part of the left side of the screen, but it's only 1 row of flakes. I can work on getting more to fall later, but now I just want to know how to get this work in a loop rather than write the lables over and over.

If there are any suggestions on how to do this better, I'm open to ideas...
