Why can i not do this?

For z:int=0 to blocksZ-1

(syntax error)


Canardian(Posted 2011) [#2]
int must be written Int, and to must be To, and you need also a Next or End, and if your z was not declared earlier, you need also Local, so it should look like:
For Local z:Int=0 To blocksz-1
Next]

thx
i got a next it must be the int and Local bit

It is a bit verbose isnt it :/

Another 'victory' for case sensitivity :P~


D4NM4N(Posted 2011) [#5]
I like case sensitivity, well, at least where variables/identifiers are concerned. I dont care about keywords & default types.

It was not the small case int, it appears either works there, it was the lack of that local keyword.

while we are at it this is wierd too:
	const blocksX:int = 100
	const blocksY:int = 10
	const blocksZ:int = 100
	const DefaultTop:int = 1
	
	Field blocks:Block[][][]
	Method New()
		blocks = new Block[blocksX][blocksY][blocksZ]


the last line is giving : Error : Only strings and arrays may be indexed.
um... eh?

Unfortunately Monkey doesn't let you allocate multi dimensional arrays like that.

You will need to allocate the first dimension (an array of 2D arrays) then loop through each entry allocating the next dimension (an array of 1D arrays), in that looping through each of those (so they themselves point to a new Array).

Argh that is horrible news.

although in the manual (language ref) it does show an declaration of

something:int[][]

it just does not tell you how to initialise it.


Beaker(Posted 2011) [#8]
You do know you can write:
For Local z:=0 Until blocksz
?


D4NM4N(Posted 2011) [#9]
nope but now i do :)

I gave up in the end trying to make a 3 way multi dim structure initialize... it gave me a headache.

In the end i came up with:

Class World
	const blocksX:int = 100
	const blocksY:int = 100
	const blocksZ:int = 10
	const DefaultTop = 1
	
	field blocks:Block[]
	
	method New()

		'Init blocks
		blocks = new Block[blocksX*blocksY*blocksZ]
		for local z:int = 0 until blocksZ
			for local y:int = 0 until blocksY
				for local x:int = 0 until blocksX
					blocks[GetBlockIndex(x,y,z)] = new Block
				next
			next
		next	
	end

	method GetBlockIndex:int (x:int, y:int, z:int)
		return x + (y*blocksX) + (z*(blocksX*blocksY))
	end  

	method GetBlock:Block(x:int, y:int, z:int)
		return blocks[x + (y*blocksX) + (z*(blocksX*blocksY))]
	end
	
 
	
end

 
class Block
	field WallLeft:int =0
	field WallRight:int =0 
	field WallTop:int =0
	
	Method New()
	end
end


yay oldskool.

It will do... i suppose :P
