hey--
im developing (er, trying?) a strategy game...annnnnnnndd,
im having trouble with one little thing, since im new to this
whole *game* dev thing i was wondering how the heck i=20
would store shipz, here's an example--
say ive got my scout ship--
class scout_ship {
private:
int shields; /* shield state */
int hull; /* hull state */
=20
public:
int damage_scout(int scout_damage_modf); /*this would check to see if =
shields failed, if so, damage hull */
/************
well the list could go on, but basically ive got my ship class...
**************/
};
so, say player x has 300 scouts, how the heck do i keep track of all =
those?
i thought of a double array, but jeez, there'z GOT to be a better way =
than having
a multilayered array, it would also be inefficiant since the # of ships =
a person could
have would be limited to how many layers of an array i had say, i wanted =
them to be able to
have 1,000 ships, well, from what i know, if i used an array, i would =
have to say--
arrray_O_ships[10][100];
but that gets confusing...
so do i have to hurt my brain and just boggle through this strange =
array, or is there
a much much much better way of keeping track of all these???
thanks!
