More than 256 literals referenced.
You must split or otherwise simplify this method.
The 257th literal is: 4360

I'm trying to create a data table for a program and I'm wondering if
I'm limited to 256 literals per class or method. I tried initilizing
the table in multiple methods (setting 50 per method) but get the same
error.
The limit is 256 literals per method. However, a literal array is
still just one literal. So you can put all your data into one literal
if you want:
#((
value 2
cost -3
step 2
defense 3
combatMove 7
fullMove 14
carry 10
lift 20
death 20
unconscious 11
woundThreshold 4
recovery 05
mysticArmor 0
) (
value 2
cost -3
step 2
defense 3
combatMove 7
fullMove 14
carry 10
lift 20
death 20
unconscious 11
woundThreshold 4
recovery 05
mysticArmor 0
) )
Then just iterate over it (#do: for the outer array, #pairsDo: is
handy for the inner) to construct your objects. Btw, you surely would
like to make a class and not just use dictionaries ;)
