Hi everybody I haven't been on here in a while and I have been outlining a new game concept. I am wondering does Megazeux support any kind of Array constructs? One dimension, two dimensional arrays? If so where do I find the information on it? If not is there something similar tip trick that you can do? Thanks

Not quite, but there are two similar things you can do:

#1 Interpolation in counter names
You can interpolate counters into the names of other counter names to simulate things like arrays. You can also do this when sending labels, to create something like a switch/case statement.

loop start
set "items&LOOPCOUNT&" "LOOPCOUNT"
loop 9

#2 String indexing
With this method, you create a string and index its bytes. This consumes less memory and makes save files smaller but is limited to values 0-255. It is also limited to one dimension unless you use interpolation in the string name itself (as above) or flatten the addressing with something like ('y'*'width'+'x').

set "COMMANDS" 10000

set "$string.321" 'a'

loop start
if "$string.('LOOPCOUNT')" = 'a' "foundIt"
loop "('$string.length'-1)"
* "Didn't find 'a' in the string."
end
: "foundIt"
* "Found 'a' at &LOOPCOUNT&!"
end

thanks a bunch I will look into these
