Hi

I just wanted clarification on a data type.

In the listed suported data types on the main page of the darkbasicpro.co.uk page there is a type "types" listed.

Could someone please elaborate on this for me.

I am mainly a java programmer and have some C and C# experiance along with VB.

What structure in these languages would this type be equivilent to. Dould it allow me to effectivly define objects by a set of values for example in pseudo code:

type mytype
int speed
int xcoord
int ycoord
int zcoord
end type

mytype x = new mytype
x.speed = 5;

Or have I got the completely wrong end of the stick.

Cheers for your help

Fred

ype mytype
int speed
int xcoord
int ycoord
int zcoord
end type

mytype x = new mytype
x.speed = 5;

in dbp would be

type mytype
speed as integer
xcoord as integer
ycoord as integer
zcoord as integer
endtype

x as mytype
x.speed=5

Types in Darkbasic are basically structures in C, they are not equivalent to objects as they can only hold other data types not functions.

Cheers

I knew that it would not be an object but I was hoping that it would be basically a struct.

I am using Jamagic for a game at the moment but am thinking of ditching it for DPPRO because the collision detection isnt up to the task I want it to perform. I know DB can do it because I have the origional.

I will miss the objects but I think for my purposes DB is probably more suited anyway.

Cheers
