Table.new

[Tdata]

I would like to know how to use the Table.new class.

Here is what i've tried:

class Bio_List
  
  @list = Table.new(50, 6)
  
  @list[0,0] = 32                     #item ID
  @list[0,1] = 1                      #zone 
  @list[0,2] = 0                      #lvl Requirement
  @list[0,3] = [1,2,3,4,5,6,10]   #actors able to use it
  @list[0,4] = 0                      #Skill Additions by ID
  @list[0,5] = "head.png"         #icon 

  @list[1,0] = 33
  @list[1,1] = [2,3]
  @list[1,2] = 0
  @list[1,3] = [1,2,3,4,5,6,10]
  @list[1,4] = 0
  @list[1,5] = "arm.png"

end

My problem is that it tries to convert everything into an integer... I was hoping the table class would be able to help me when i'm working with my Bio-mod List.

"Table

The multidimensional array class. Each element takes up 2 signed bytes, ranging from -32,768 to 32,767.

Ruby's Array class does not run efficiently when handling large amounts of data, hence the inclusion of this class."

You're best off making a multi-dimensional array, or an array wrapper class.

I got that from the help file... Does that mean i'll have to use a multi-layered array as in:
@list = []
@list[0] = [32, 1, 0, [1..6,10], 0, "head.png"]
@list[1] = [33, [2, 3], 0, [1..6, 10], 0, "arm.png"]

What i want is to be able to 'visualize' the array like this:

32	33	34	35
1	2,3	4,5	6
0	0	0	0
1..6,10	1..6,10	1..6,10	1..6,10
0	0	0	0

I've made an Object_Table class which behaves like the Table class but for the fact that it can contain any object.
