Hi there,
So I am running over some coding ideas in my head for creating a map for
a game.
This map would expand based on how far the user explores.
I figure there are two ways to do this:
1: the list method:
map=[]
for x in range(3):
temp=[]
for y in range(3):
temp.append(default_grid_format)
map.append(temp)
then when ever the user explores a square not on the current map, it
would do this:
for x in range(len(map)):
map[x].append(default_grid_format)
temp=[]
for x in range(len(map[0])):
temp.append(default_grid_format)
map.append(temp)
Obviously, though, this creates a lot of data for squares that are still
ultimately unexplored.
So here was my other idea:
2. the dictionary method:
map={}
for x in range(3):
for y in range(3):
key=str(x)+":"+str(y)
map[key]=default_grid_format
Then when user explores new square do:
key=str(player_x)+":"+str(player_y)
map[key]=default_grid_format
Is this an efficient method compared to 1?
Is it, code wise, sound logic?
I guess I'm just looking for a second opinion from experienced peoples.
thanks everyone.
Nathan
