Is there a way in Java to iterate through every object of a particular class, or do I have to keep track of each object as I construct/destroy with an array of references and access the object data like that?

If there are no references to an object, they become candidates for garbage collection. So, yes, you have to keep track of them in some way. You can, but don’t have to, use an array for this; there’s also Java’s collections.
