Well, a linked list is your best bet, but you don't have to actually add
a new structure to make it up, just add a new pointer to the event_info
structure to point to the next event for that player.
Linked lists are really a great tool in C, work with them and get used
to them and they will become one of the most powerfull tools you can use
to program in C.
