What is the best way to create a multi variable array?

Shamushay

I want to create a 2D grid of squares that have about 6 different variables associated with each square. I can't figure out the best way to do this. I tried using XML to store all the position data and other data but had trouble with reading and writing the different attributes. What "technique" should I be using for the desired result?

it could help to see your code for us to help

3D array

but you could use a 3D array

int[][][] grid = new int[8][8][6]; 

usage is the same as with 2D - see tutorial

when you use oop / classes

when you use oop / classes

just say

Cell[][] grid = new Cell[8][8]; 

and in the class

class Cell {

    // value 
    int cellValue=0; 

    int[] possibleValues = new int[6]; 

    void display() {
          // ......
    }

}

store your 6 different variables in an 1D-array: possibleValues
