Not entirely sure how you'd go about implementing it, but if you can allow an array as a basic type that contains any other basic type you could have an array-of-arrays-of-arrays (3D array)...

I'm pretty sure this is how Java implements arrays, maybe C/C++ as well. Although, I think it's only Java that allows you to have "odd shape" arrays:

       [0] [1] [2]
[0] = { a , b , c }
[1] = { d , e }
[2] = { f }

Agreed. The STL is great, but it can be a real pain in the backside. The thing that always annoys me about it is that I get stuck, look up some guru's book/website and find the solution - upon which it all seems so elegant and simple (as STL is supposed to be) yet I'd never of figured it out on my own [headshake]

Some glass? [lol]

I did see an interpretted script demo once that showed, as a form of log-like output, the script commands as they're executed. Thus you get a sort of flickering of code across the bottom of the screen as all the lines of script get executed... You could slow it down and watch each line as the program worked through it.

It was a bit noisy, but it looked quite cool - almost had that Matrix Code™ effect from the films [grin]

This sounds like the implementation I had in mind from the start. Completely extensible. In order to get it to work I'll need to figure out a better way to store variable memory.

Yeah I found a guru's vector class that supports pointers but it only works for a list of pointers rather than a struct that may include pointers as well as values. I may just build my own map and vector classes to support what I want to do. But I'll look around for an STL solution first.

You thought about asking the people in the 'General Programming' forum? I don't spend much time there so I'll of missed it if you do... but everytime I do visit it, they seem to be both helpful and know exactly what they're on about [grin]

Looks awesome!

I think this might be good enough to compete with Angelscript.

Thanks guys!
