Factor has the nth and set-nth words; you can cook up a multiple-dimensional abstraction on top, either by representing it as array of arrays, or one big array in row (or column) major order with some arithmetic to convert indices into row (column) major indices. > 2) Does factor have support for command line windows, reading one key at > a time? > this can be useful for little games, or in tutorials for learning how to > program. There is a curses binding in the curses vocabulary. It is Unix-specific. We don't have anything for console access on Windows, but you're welcome to add the relevant bindings to the windows.kernel32 vocabulary and contribute your changes.
