Also, I found it helpful to keep a separate 'lookup' field of
button ids, again each line representing a row of the grid and each item
representing a column. When you need set the button's icon at (2,4), you can
lookup the button's ID from item 2 of line 4 of your lookup field. Probably
both these fields could be replaced by arrays (perhaps with a speed bonus?),
but I have had some trouble with two dimensional arrays in the past and
opted to steer clear.
I bet you could gain some speed by moving that field lookup into a custom property. Field accesses are slower than custom property accesses. You could continue to use item and line chunking instead of 2D arrays.
It would be interesting to know if 2D arrays would be faster than item/line chunking. I am guessing not.
Just my 2-sense. Good luck!
Thanks for the info & looking forward to checking out this Rev game.
