SRL Archive - Help and Support

there have been a few words used (mostly acronyms) that i am unfamiliar with. for the one on the top of my head, what is a TPA?

TPA is a TPointArray. Array of x,y coords. In pixelworld usefull for a lot of things.

SCAR doesn't support OOP, does it? so TPoint is a record/struct not an object?

No, SCAR does not support OOP. A TPoint is a type.

type Tpoint = record;
    x, y: integer;
end;

TPA: array of tpoint;
is the same as
TPA: TPointArray;

SCAR/SRL has just predefined TPointArray for easy usage.

Using:

var 
    tp: TPoint;
begin 
    tp := point(0, 0);
    //or
    tp.x := 0;
    tp.y := 0;
end;

idk, I havent done stuff with SCAR for a long time. This is just what I remember

so i was right… it's a record.

Hurray for instamembership!

type
  TPoint = record
    x, y:integer;
  end;

  TPointArray: array of TPoint
  T2DPointArray: array of TPointArray

var
  TP: TPoint;
  TPA: TPointArray;
  ATPA: T2DPointArray;

If you wish to find more knowledge on TPAs I suggest searching for Naum's TPA tutorial or having a read through WizzyPluggin.dpr ;)

WizzyPluggin has most of the array splitting, analysing and sorting methods we use.
