Help!
I’m using java array literals for my levels (bad form, I know, but I’m pressed for time and want to have as much time as possible creating content) but it keeps saying my arrays are null. This is the offending code:
protected Integer[][] rawLevel =
{
{0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0},
{0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0},
{0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0},
{0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0},
{0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0},
{0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0},
{0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0},
{0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0},
{0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0},
{0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0},
{0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0},
{1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1}
};
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated

Not sure what language you are using but perhaps declare a new int array then initialize it in a constructor..

Well, that should work! Can you pastbin you code?

I don’t think you can define 2D Arrays using literals in Java. Not without specifying the first dimension, anyway.

… I see I’m not the only one procrastinating.

@The Jahn you can define 2D Arrays with literals, I did it in my warmup game and there were no problems whatsoever. I’ll try out the string idea, thanks

and it’s STILL returning null! the sheer amount of irritation I’m feeling right now is beyond mere words

ah, found out what it was. I was declaring it in the class, but calling the function that needs it from the superclass’ constructor, so it didn’t set it before trying to read it
