Inventory advice. Tables?

artfish

Hey guys. I've been spending weeks on my game now about 17 hours a day. It's become my life, and a labor of love (and hate!gamesalad...crashing...argghhh....)

Anyways,

I'm looking for some advice. I have an inventory drop down that opens or closes when swiped. Currently i'm using attributes and interpolations for displaying an item in the inventory. Before I head to far in the wrong direction, I'm wondering if there is a better way to do this. I have not worked with tables thus far, would it be advantageous to incorporate them into my inventory process?

The size and scope of items I incorporate in the game will probably be determined by how I design the process.

I have attributes for slot postions and interpolate the item in the tray if item collected = true.

I guess I'm just looking for some insight. This method is working ok, I was just looking to streamline the process a bit.

Thanks in advance for any help!

You will probably have to wait until the writeable tables is out to due an inventory with tables. otherwise it will just always be set and not changeable during gameplay.
