For a project I am involved in, I have a 2D array representing a map. I want to create a class representing a zone on the map. There will be numerous zones on my map that will be different sizes, i.e. varying numbers of map array elements in each zone. What I have in mind is as follows:
Code:
class zone
{
private:
int num_of_squares;
int square_coordinates[num_of_squares][2];
//array giving map x and y coordinate for each square
public:
void set_squares(int a);
void set_coordinates(int i, int pos_x, int pos_y);
}zone1;
void zone::set_squares(int a)
{
num_of_squares = a;
}
void zone::set_coordinates(int i, int pos_x, int pos_y)
{
square_coordinates[i][0] = pos_x;
square_coordinates[i][1] = pos_y;
}
//here I call zone1.set_squares and zone1.set_coordinates to initialise all class variables
Is what I have in mind possible? I am getting errors and I think it is to do with the non-constant nature of num_of_squares.
Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks
