Help !,

I've gone and got myself totally confused with TYPES.

Here's what I want to do, but in C:

struct {
float x
float y
} object[5]

I cant seem to work out the blitz code though ???
Can anyone please help out.. the 5 array types it creates must also be global.

Paul,

Check out the excellent tutorials on Blitzcoder, there is one for TYPE newbies.

It is not too difficult, but you do need to follow the process.

Type YourParticularType
field x#
field y#
end type

dim MyArrayOfTypes.YourParticularType(5)
for i=0 to 5
MyArrayOfTypes(i)=new yourParticularType
next

and to reference them

myarrayoftypes(index)\x
