In BlitzMAX to make a 2D object you write

What is the way of making a 2D object that can have instances of itself in DarkBASIC?

- By the way I do not know BlitzMAX I just have a bud that was trying to help me understand objects. They use Blitz.

You can't have objects (classes) in DBP. You can however have types (structs). The syntax is actually the same that you wrote up there.

Something like this:


Take note that you can only have fields, and no methods (functions) in the types.

Nor arrays, sadly.

So would types be used to create a sprite class? Like for instance, make the rules for 1 sprite but be able to put multiple copies of that 1 sprite on screen and have them act separately. (But following the same rules? Let me know if I am not clear.

You'd have to program all that by yourself if I understand this, sure you could put this data in a Type, but it won't have any effect unless YOU write code that actually does something with this data.
