You have 4 options:

1) Just don't let the user put in more than 10
2) Remove unused objects from the list if it gets to big
3) Use a linked list as already mentioned.
4) Malloc, realloc, free.

C++ doesn't have a realloc equivalant (oh no...) to new and delete. Use C
routines instead.

Object **objects;

objects = malloc(sizeof(Object*) * objectsneeded);
for (int i = 0; i < objectsneeded;i++)
    objects[i] = new Object;


// If you need more, realloc it.
objects = realloc(objects, sizeof(Object*)*newobjectsneeded);

You will need to do some casting to get rid of C++ warnings, but I left them out
so you can read this.
