OO

[boriel]

This cannot be done with a linked list?
sprite.x(nr)
sprite.pointer(nr)
or similar?

This is something I'd like to discuss. Instead of copying C++ or the like syntax, design a new one. more close to BASIC. For example:

• No pointers but references instead (like Java or Python) :?:
  
  Code:

  sprite.x(nr)
sprite.nextSprite.x(nr)
• List containers embedded in the language :?:
  
  Code:

  REM an Array is a container with all elements of the same type
REM A list is not

A = [1, "Hello", sprite]
A = A + [More, Elements] : REM Dynamic

PRINT A(3)

REM Sublisting
B = A(2 TO 5)
  Note: List can be implemented just with the references/pointer implementation above, but this is more BASIC sugar-syntax IMHO ;-)

Please, discuss :!:
