Thank you for the tutorials . Can’t wait for the next one.

[Dave]

You are so very welcome!

We're looking forward to it too :) Onto arrays!

@Dave Are you following the tutorial sequence from help? Screen comes before arrays.

[Dave]

@_JKDOS

That's true, and whilst I could be persuaded on doing that first I thought it might be more helpful for everybody if we got arrays out of the way. Some confusion on the different ways you can set up arrays in Fuze has led me to believe it would be of greater benefit earlier.

However... Screen doesn't require arrays and certainly ties all the previous videos together nicely.

What do you think? Should we stick to the help list? We don't have the intention of sticking strictly to the help list.

@Dave I can only say I'm looking forward to the one on arrays the most. I'm hoping there are some array operations I'm just missing. (Things like adding an element to the start or end of the array.)

[_JKDOS]

@Dave I don't mind which order you go off of. I just enjoy watching the videos.

[Dave]

That's awesome feedback, thank you.

I think we'll do arrays next then, and be sure to hit those points mentioned @emptytheory

This means a lot guys, thanks so much!

[emptytheory]

@Dave It just occurred to me that something like

myArray.append(x)

which I think is Python-style, is simply

myArray[len(myArray)] = x

in Fuze. I don't have my Switch here at the moment, but I'm guessing that works. Not knowing or having a lot of in-built functions is quite fun and educational, come to think of it. (Not that I want to stop you from teaching us stuff! But there is a joy of discovery that you don't get from learning of a function.)

[Dave]

@emptytheory You are absolutely correct. That is exactly how you'd do that in Fuze!

We'll only be covering the simplest of array usages and setups in the upcoming video - we'd be going over the ideal length if we start to address too much so fear not, there will still be plenty of joy to be had discovering things for yourself, haha :)

When we are through the fundamentals, doing some more advanced applications/setups/manipulation of arrays will come.
