Hey :)

Is it possible to make my own data type?
Instead of having lots of messy arrays, I'd like to create an object/data type for a Dungeoneering bot. It will contain each rooms data, such as doors, locked doors, spawn point, cleared, etc etc.

(A class would do, if Simba supports classes).

NewDataType Room
{
id: integer;
doors: integer;
doorLocations: TPointArray;
isSpawn: boolean;
}

Then say we have three rooms as objects/data types (whatever), searching through them for something for example, what room is the spawn. (I could have a seperate variable for that (in global vars), but it's just an example.)

Yes it it! :)

type
  THarryJames = record
    Age : Integer;
    Location : String;
  end;

begin
end.

I just made a HarryJames type!

Usage is as follows, correct?

var
Myself : THarryJames;
Begin
Myself.Age := 16;
Myself.Location := "Narnia";

writeln(Myself.Age);
end;

Thanks :)

Would I be better off making a few variables in the TRoom record, or making another record for doors. You have to know their location, colour, shape, locked/unlocked. (That's it I think, for doors).

Doesn't really matter.. The purpose of making a new type is really just to keep things more organized and less confusing.
