Learning To Program Mid-Ludum-Dare

Is finding out you didn’t know quite as much as you thought you did about programming mid-LD a good thing or a bad thing?  I suppose it’s bad for finishing-a-game-in-48-hours sake but good for strong-motivation-to-learn sake.  C#, why must you handle arrays in a completely different fashion from javascript?

It’s now 3am here in Utah.  Time to go to bed and tackle this with a fresh mind tomorrow.

Learning is never a bad thing. Ludum Dare isn’t going anywhere so even if you don’t manage to finish this time around, there’s always next time. :)

In C#, an array is almost never what you want to use. List is where it’s at; with List you can insert new elements or remove elements easily. And if there’s any library code that demands an array for whatever reason, you can always call ToArray on your list to get back an array.
