Now that I'm making a large game in C, I have tons of questions for you
- Let's say I want to locate a stack $123456, which consists of 3-byte value, and in every 3-byte value, 3 seperate 1-byte values (type, x, y). How do I write/read them?
- Related to 1), is it more useful to have a pointer which reads only 1-byte values, or 3-byte values? (I need to access these values every frame, so speed is important)
(more are coming
)
1) Rather than asking these sort of questions, explain what you are trying to do. This doesn't make any sense :p
Oh hmm, okay. I want to build a stack with all the buildings in AoCE, and every building has 3 'arguments': the type, the x coordinate and the y-coordinate, all are 1-byte values. So I want a stack with all these values, and I need to read it :p
Okay; use a structure:
Code: typedef struct {
uint8_t type, x, y;
} building_t;
Then you can do something like:
Code: building_t building[256];
// types of buildings
enum building_types { FARM_TYPE=1, ... , ... , };
// get address of current building
building_t *this_building = &building[0];
// store location and type
this_building->x = 0;
this_building->y = 0;
this_building->type = FARM_TYPE;
