| Hi, For my Arkanoid game, I'm creating the levels based on the data in data-statements. But there will be more than 100 levels in the final game. I'm using a massive Select Case to restore the correct data-block for each level. ; Select the level data-block Select Level Case 1 : Restore Level001 Case 2 : Restore Level002 Case 3 : Restore Level003 Case 4 : Restore Level004 ; Case 5 : Restore Level005 ; Case 6 : Restore Level006 ; Case 7 : Restore Level007 ; Case 8 : Restore Level008 ; Case 9 : Restore Level009 ; Case 10 : Restore Level010 ; Case 11 : Restore Level011 ; Case 12 : Restore Level012 ; Case 13 : Restore Level013 ; Case 14 : Restore Level014 ; Case 15 : Restore Level015 ; Case 16 : Restore Level016 ; Case 17 : Restore Level017 ; Case 18 : Restore Level018 ; Case 19 : Restore Level019 ; Case 20 : Restore Level020 ; Case 21 : Restore Level021 ; Case 22 : Restore Level022 ; Case 23 : Restore Level023 ; Case 24 : Restore Level024 ; Case 25 : Restore Level025 ; Case 26 : Restore Level026 ; Case 27 : Restore Level027 ; Case 28 : Restore Level028 ; Case 29 : Restore Level029 ; Case 30 : Restore Level030 ; Case 31 : Restore Level031 ; Case 32 : Restore Level032 ; Case 33 : Restore Level033 ; Case 34 : Restore Level034 ; Case 35 : Restore Level035 ; Case 36 : Restore Level036 ; Case 37 : Restore Level037 ; Case 38 : Restore Level038 ; Case 39 : Restore Level039 ; Case 40 : Restore Level040 ; Case 41 : Restore Level041 ; Case 42 : Restore Level042 ; Case 43 : Restore Level043 ; Case 44 : Restore Level044 ; Case 45 : Restore Level045 ; Case 46 : Restore Level046 ; Case 47 : Restore Level047 ; Case 48 : Restore Level048 ; Case 49 : Restore Level049 ; Case 50 : Restore Level050 ; Case 51 : Restore Level051 ; Case 52 : Restore Level052 ; Case 53 : Restore Level053 ; Case 54 : Restore Level054 ; Case 55 : Restore Level055 ; Case 56 : Restore Level056 ; Case 57 : Restore Level057 ; Case 58 : Restore Level058 ; Case 59 : Restore Level059 ; Case 60 : Restore Level060 ; Case 61 : Restore Level061 ; Case 62 : Restore Level062 ; Case 63 : Restore Level063 ; Case 64 : Restore Level064 ; Case 65 : Restore Level065 ; Case 66 : Restore Level066 ; Case 67 : Restore Level067 ; Case 68 : Restore Level068 ; Case 69 : Restore Level069 ; Case 70 : Restore Level070 ; Case 71 : Restore Level071 ; Case 72 : Restore Level072 ; Case 73 : Restore Level073 ; Case 74 : Restore Level074 ; Case 75 : Restore Level075 ; Case 76 : Restore Level076 ; Case 77 : Restore Level077 ; Case 78 : Restore Level078 ; Case 79 : Restore Level079 ; Case 80 : Restore Level080 ; Case 81 : Restore Level081 ; Case 82 : Restore Level082 ; Case 83 : Restore Level083 ; Case 84 : Restore Level084 ; Case 85 : Restore Level085 ; Case 86 : Restore Level086 ; Case 87 : Restore Level087 ; Case 88 : Restore Level088 ; Case 89 : Restore Level089 ; Case 90 : Restore Level090 ; Case 91 : Restore Level091 ; Case 92 : Restore Level092 ; Case 93 : Restore Level093 ; Case 94 : Restore Level094 ; Case 95 : Restore Level095 ; Case 96 : Restore Level096 ; Case 97 : Restore Level097 ; Case 98 : Restore Level098 ; Case 99 : Restore Level099 ; Case 100 : Restore Level100 ; Case 101 : Restore Level101 ; Case 102 : Restore Level102 ; Case 103 : Restore Level103 ; Case 104 : Restore Level104 ; Case 105 : Restore Level105 ; Case 106 : Restore Level106 ; Case 107 : Restore Level107 ; Case 108 : Restore Level108 ; Case 109 : Restore Level109 ; Case 110 : Restore Level110 ; Case 111 : Restore Level111 ; Case 112 : Restore Level112 ; Case 113 : Restore Level113 ; Case 114 : Restore Level114 ; Case 115 : Restore Level115 ; Case 116 : Restore Level116 ; Case 117 : Restore Level117 ; Case 118 : Restore Level118 ; Case 119 : Restore Level119 ; Case 120 : Restore Level120 ; Case 121 : Restore Level121 ; Case 122 : Restore Level122 ; Case 123 : Restore Level123 ; Case 124 : Restore Level124 ; Case 125 : Restore Level125 End Select I've commented out levels 5-125 because they don't exist yet. But is there another way to do this? Or should I go for reading the data from external files? |

| I thought as much :) I only have 4 levels now, but the levels.bb file is already having 829 lines of data-statements (also some comments between the sections). When the levels are complete, I could end up with about 25.000 lines of data-statements. That would take alot of time to compile i guess. I was hoping to pull it off with Data-statements, to keep the number of external files limited, but I guess there is no other option. It will also be easier to maintain, as you don't need to recompile the entire program if you change one value in the data-statements. Thanks. |
