Hi All

I think the answer is no to this one but thought I would check before giving up hope...

Let's say I have the following code:

Dim johnsmith[3]
johnsmith[2] = 12345
a$ = "john"
b$ = "smith"
c$ = a$ + b$ + "[" + "2" + "]"

In the above example c$ would now contain "johnsmith[2]"

Is there anyway I can force AppGameKit to evaluate that string as a command at run time? In other words, make my code return the value of the array johnsmith[2] (which would be 12345) by using the c$ variable? I havent found a way of making this work?

No, it's not possible.
You could do it with something like Lua, but AppGameKit doesn't have Lua scripting functionality like GameGuru (FPSCR).
