In the game im building i decided to go with an array of objects. that way not only do i avoid diving into nested arrays, but i can add extra params to my nodes as well like the sprite associated with it and the z-index and other neat things.
great video. im just now learning about matrixes and 2d array for an isometric game project. Was seeing if the way im using it is okay or innefficient?

Finding the Sum of Rows and Columns in a Two-Dimensional Array javascript

[jakestone]

I like writing games - as it helps learn a particular language. My language of choice this year is JS. With arrays, or objects I am stumped. I have for example, 20 mobs, each mob attacks in waves 9 times. Inside each wave is a set of criteria that needs to be met in order to beat that wave - example HP. I've tried several types of arrays but no go. In QB64/Pascal I can create a record and then assign that record to a var that is an array, PHP, I can jus tmake the arrays, and it will work verbatim, however, JS is very tricky when it comes to this. what would you suggest?

So how do you say create a matrix like this, from a user input? Say if you have a user input a string of words, like this: "I love pizza, pasta, hamburgers, sausages"? I haven't been able to find any good material on how to do this.
