I''m trying to make an dynamic map for an isometric game, using linked list for the layers. using C++ so I prefer using the new/delete operator over malloc. I have an structure for every cell ''STile'' and a class ''CMap'' for the map and using the function Createmap() to create the map and set all the map[row][column].next to NULL. the problem is that the statement in the 2 for loops doing this doesn''t seem to work none of the values is set to NULL, but if I add map[32][32].next or what ever legal array coordinate that one is set to NULL, so why does that work and does the statement using for loops not work, what am I doing wrong??? can someone plz help me... here''s the code that''s keeping me busy... typedef struct STile NODE; typedef NODE *NODE_PTR; struct STile { STile *next; char type; char flags; }; class CMap { public : STile **map; int width; int height; CreateMap(); }; CMap::CreateMap() { int i, row, column; *map = new STile [width]; for (i=0; i = new STile [height]; } for (row = 0; row < height; row++) { for (column = 0; column < width; column++) { map[column][row].next = NULL; } } }

What you want is something like (not in your object framework in one block to make things clear):

typedef STile * pSTile;STile ** map = new pSTile[width];for (int i = 0; i < width; i++) {  map = new Stile[height];<br>  for (int j = 0; j < height; j++) {<br>    map[ j ].next = NULL;<br>  }<br>}<br> </pre>
