Is there any easier method to initialize a "multidimensional" array? I know Monkey does not support "real" multidim arrays, but arrays of arrays are no problem.
But the initialization is a quirks. Any faster, easier, better way here?

Strict

Class Test

	Field data:Int[2][]

	Method New()
		For Local i:Int = 0 To 1
			data[i] = New Int[2]
		Next
	End
	
	Method Bla:Int()
		data[0][1] = 15
		Return 0
	End
	
	Method Blubb:Int()
		Print data[0][1]
		Return 0
	End

End

Function Main:Int()
	Local t:Test = New Test
	t.Bla
	t.Blubb
	Return 0
End

Just write a function to do it.

Class ArrayUtil<T>
    Function CreateArray:T[][](rows:Int,cols:Int)
        Local a:T[][] = New T[rows][]
        For Local i:Int = 0 Until rows
            a[i] = New T[cols]
        End
        
        Return a
    End       
End

Function Main()
    Local iArr:Int[][] = ArrayUtil<Int>.CreateArray(128,64)
End
