How do you reference objects that are created at runtime?

what if you have N clone's, where N is arbitrary?

You can use an array.

wouldn't you have to know the size of the array before declaring it? N times is unknown, and it depends on how many times the player clicks during runtime - and it's not all at once

No, just use a list.

okay - if these prefab's are moved after being declared, assigned to the clones variable, for example, would their transforms still be updated? - also, is it better to use tags or to just keep the variables in memory?

Could give it a tag, if their are multiple ones (Bullets or enemies?), you could make an array of FindObjectsWithTag or whatever... If just one though, you can always just use tags. how do you assign tag's at runtime?

Make it a prefab with the tag, and instantiate the prefab.

I think what you mean is this?... you instantiate a bunch of objects at runtime, and then later want to be able to reference one or all of them, either to do something to them, or check what they're upto. Is that right?
yes basically - but they won't all be instantiated at once. depends on player input
