Hi,
This is a tutorial on how to handle a set data.
Imagine, your game must manipulate data of players, each player in possesses own data,
Array are useful for retrieving information about a player, but multiple players is harder...

Warning, you need to know create a Array and be able to create a function that displays the contents of the Array before you can follow this tutorial !

you have an example here > Arrays


(to you to rewrite the tutorial either sourcecode or logicblock)

---

I create a Array containing data of the first player, I'll rename "structure 1"
then for the player2 and for the player3 and a special structure I rename "new_structure",
it will serve to add new players...

e.g,

***Structure1***
Name = ViraX
Level = Undetermined
Location = France
****************

***Structure2***
Name = Newbie
Level = 3
Location = USA
****************

***Structure3***
Name = Player3
Level = 80
Location = Earth
****************

***New_Structure***
Name = TEST
Level = TEST
Location = TEST
******************

I get 3 Arrays, a Array by a player, Okay ?!
Now, I create a new Array, that'll contain these structures, I renamed it "my_array".
(do not insert "new_structure")

If you are not lost, I continuous,
I create a function that read the contents of "my_array",

I give you the code of my function "READ", in "Pseudo-Code" :

the function "READ" displays complete information about every player ...
Here we created our dataset !

it's cool but it would be better if we could handled our structures ...
for example, add a new player.

to add a new player, add a new structure in our array, assign its "PosX" and its value ...

but imagine 100 players come to your game, you have to create in advance 100 structures ? this is not serious

I'll create a function that will insert a new structure automatically,
and as many times as I want and giving it its "PosX" automatically.

I have to know in advance how many structures already has our Array,
otherwise I might insert a structure instead of another, and then will be messy if I give a "PosX" randomly each time ...

I will first create a function that returns me the size of my Array "my_array".
so I know how many structures there in my Array, and also assign a "PosX" for each new structure.

here is my function "LEN" which returns me the size of "my_array" in a variable "return_len",
all the time.

Now, I can create my "PUSH" function that automatically insert a new player.

To be able to call my function "PUSH", I have to make this :

You can check the insertion through our function "READ" ...

to remove a player,
we can not destroy a structure or array, but we can reset to NULL,
with function "POP_ID".


Check on its reset with "READ" ...

These are the main manipulation, I continued to add other functions later in this tutorial,

I do not speak English,if you think do a better translation for this tutorial, send me a private message.

*UPDATE1
+ modification (little) translation .
+ the function 'PUSH' do not insert a new structure but a simple data, now she insert a new structure !

Extremely helpful tutorial, thank you This is the essential code for multiplayer games

Ha?!?!
