If those cool stuffs can fit into a method you could create a base `interface` or `abstract class` w/ 1 `abstract` method **display()**:

```auto
@FunctionalInterface interface CoolStuff {
  void display();
}

```

```auto
abstract class CoolStuff {
  abstract void display();
}

```

Then create a CoolStuff[] array w/ _length_ 256:

```auto
final static int STUFFS = 256;
final CoolStuff[] stuffs = new CoolStuff[STUFFS];

```

And in a separate tab file have a function **createCoolStuffs()** where you anonymous-instantiate your 256 CoolStuff objects.

Each instance would have a different implementation of **display()**:

```auto
void createCoolStuffs() {
  stuffs[0] = new CoolStuff() {
    @Override public void display() {
      // Cool Processing Stuff 000...
    }
  };

  stuffs[1] = new CoolStuff() {
    @Override public void display() {
      // Cool Processing Stuff 001...
    }
  };

  stuffs[2] = new CoolStuff() {
    @Override public void display() {
      // Cool Processing Stuff 002...
    }
  };
}

```
