Support for arrays?

Hello,

Is there support for arrays? Or, some other way of storing and accessing a predefined list of things?

For example, how would I represent a shuffled deck of cards programatically? And then access them one at a time, to deal them?

Thanks.

    That is actually a very interesting question, one I'd like to hear an answer to too :)

    Not currently support in an easy way. But with a lot of attributes, you can.

    Hmm, can you give me a little bit of an example? I'm not sure how I'd populate and access the attributes effectively/efficiently.

    Thanks.

    There's not really an efficient way for it. and it will probably be rule heavy.

    And it probably wouldn't be worthwhile to mention it because it would get slower and slower since you would need to run the random number generator over and over until you found a card you haven't chosen.

    Okay. Well, I'll give it a go and post what I come up with. (assuming it works well enough) :-)
