Another quick problem requiring solution

[Guest Croccy22]

This has got to be easy but yet again my brain has turned into mush.

At the moment I am decalring an array at the beggining of my code like this:

int LevelData[64] ={1,1,1,1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,};

the problem is later on the game this gets modified. What I need though is when a new game is started, LevelData[] must be refilled with the original data.

How can I do this. I have tried doing like LevelData[64] = {1,2,3,4,} etc but it doesn't work. Does anybody know what I mean??

I know I can fill it number by number but I don't want to do that.

Help????

Why are you not using 2 copies of the array ? The original and the working copy, in which you copy the original when you need to ...

[Guest Croccy22]

how can i copy one array to another?

original[] = working[] ???

[Guest v1nn1e]

original[] = working[] ???

This will jus copy the pointer to the memory location of the data. It won't actually make a duplicate of the array. changing original[1] would be the same as changing working[1] because they point to the same thing.

You have to copy each element using a loop to a new array.

This is how it is done in JAVA

Yeah thanx just figured it out. I have been programming far too long today. Oh well nearly finished public Beta!

And yes I know there is still stuff to do (as you will find out). But tough! :lol:

Just really wanna see if anybody actuallt plays the game before wasting my life coding it!
