Help writing an array for adventure

nisarga

Hi Folks, I am new to C Sharp. This probably already exists somewhere, yet I have not found it. I would like your help in writing an array that lists some things like: a treasure chest; a knapsack; and their contents - and then display the contents of each container one at a time in a text box (duration of the display is 2 seconds for each contents item - the reason to display the contents items one at a time is that I want the player to pay an energy penalty for forgetting what he is carrying and having to take inventory). The other feature that you can probably guess is the ability to add or remove items from either the treasure chest or the knapsack and/or to pick up a new container like a briefcase (in other words a dynamic array). Thanks in advance for your help, James

Thank You, I see that it does not have to be an array as I was thinking of it. I'll explore the suggestions that you have made. James

Hi, Just curious. Must it be an array. a treasure chest; a knapsack; and their contents - and then display the contents of each container one at a time in a text box --> You can use System.Array or String array to store all the items (as long each items is identified as string) --> You can use object array or arraylist to pass in objects - Knife is an object, orange is an object duration of the display is 2 seconds for each contents item --> You can use System.Threading Thread.Sleep(..) // 2 seconds, depends on your requirements the ability to add or remove items from either the treasure chest --> Can be easily done with collections of your choice :) Cheers.
