What is a 3rd dimensional array?

Laurent Mundell · 2014-07-24T14:26:57

I've looked this up but I don't quite get it. My game uses a 1 dimensional array to render levels and this was cool but it not enough anymore. I know how a 2 Dimensional array work similar to a grid of rolls and columns but this new concept or 3 doesn't speak to me. Most example I find only explain 2 dimensional arrays. How does a 3rd dimensional array work? How should I use it. I really need to know before I start testing one 2nd dimensional arrays.

Not in a place to do anything but my curiosity couldn't keep me away.

I have many ideas since last night, actually couldn't sleep. First I need to know Is manipulating the values of arrays a good idea? I don't want to be a bad coder.

Are you referring to the values stored in the arrays? If so, then it's perfectly fine to change them. A program that doesn't change data isn't going to accomplish much.

If you meant some other values, please explain.
