Talk:Arrays (Papyrus)

I appreciate that this page has been created because I never really understood this Arrays thing... but I still barely get it. I think that this page needs a rewrite and it needs to be dumbed down.

First, when you write something "for begginers" don't give them a long lecture about how computer memory works. I know that you wanted people to understand the whole concept but it's really hard for newbies. And if you do something like this please, simply try to avoid sentences like "...since you'd need to construct identifiers at runtime by concatenating the descripting name with the changing index". Sometimes I just didn't know what it was about. You're talking about arrays and then suddenly: "Arrays are, memory-wise, just a bunch of bytes stacked together, continuous in memory (virtual memory, that is, physical memory can get messy). From now on, I'll just refer to it as memory."

Second, when you get to the technical part of the page, scripts and all, could you make it more orderly? Like, start with how you define an array, then tell how to define its value, then how do some other stuff... I mean, get from the simplest stuff to the most complicated. Right now I think there's everything in this article but I still don't understand it. Try to incorporate new things gradually. I know that this isn't a tutorial but still, many people are going to learn from this. Domius 14:16, 17 February 2012 (EST)
