First of, thanks a lot for taking time out of your day to explain this in detail @Peace-Maker. Awesome write-up and great example!

PHP Code:
int ballEntRef = players.Get(index, Player::ballEntRef);

Wow, I simply didn't know the :: operator existed. Got how ArrayLists worked up until that point and I seem to have done everything, including setting the correct blocksizes, dependant on the enum struct declaration. This definitely helps in using them that way.
One more follow-up question about my example... I'm writing up a basic minigame that (hypothetically) may have multiple instances running simultaneously with different clients on a server belonging to different games. Now I could still use a static
Player players[MAXCLIENTS + 1] array per game, however as it is (understandably) not allowed to set multidimensional fields on an enum struct, I could not add the players as a field for e. g. a
Game struct.
Is there a workaround that doesn't defeat the purpose of the enum struct syntax, achieving something like this?
PHP Code:
enum struct Player {
int client;
int someOtherData;
}
enum struct Game {
Player players[MAXPLAYERS + 1]; // not allowed
int winnerOrWhatever;
}
