   Hey, I am working on a game and have to store lot of details about game in a constants file. I am new to cocos2d and iPhone development in general.

   So I was wondering what is the best way to do this. I have information in form of string which i can split later. I am trying this code :

   const NSString WONDER1_LEVELS[3][2] = {
   					{@"15|19:1-2,8:0-0",@"15|19:1-2,8:0-0"},
   					{@"15|19:1-2,8:0-0",@"15|19:1-2,8:0-0"},
   					{@"15|19:1-2,8:0-0"}
   };

   but it is giving me warnings as :

   warning: missing braces around initializer
   warning: (near initialization for 'WONDER1_LEVELS[0][0]')

   in the constants.h file i have used :

   extern const NSString WONDER1_LEVELS[3][2];

   Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong here, or a better solution to implement this?

   Hi, you are missing an * there.

   it should be:

   const NSString * WONDER1_LEVELS[3][2] = {
   	{@"15|19:1-2,8:0-0",@"15|19:1-2,8:0-0"},
   	{@"15|19:1-2,8:0-0",@"15|19:1-2,8:0-0"},
   	{@"15|19:1-2,8:0-0"}
   };

   I have implemented the level details of my game as follows :

   const NSString *WORLD[7][3][2] = {
   
   	//World 1
   	{
   		{@"5|8|0|0|8|0|0",@"5|8|0|0|8|0|0"},
   		{@"5|8|0|0|8|0|0",@"5|8|0|0|8|0|0"},
   		{@"5|8|0|0|8|0|0"}
   	},
   	//World 2
   	{
   		{@"5|8|0|0|8|0|0",@"5|8|0|0|8|0|0"},
   		{@"5|8|0|0|8|0|0",@"5|8|0|0|8|0|0"},
   		{@"5|8|0|0|8|0|0"}
   	}
           //...
   
   };

   So, as you can see there are seven worlds, having 3 levels which have upto 2 waves each.
   Now the problem is the number of levels and waves may change for each world. If there was a way to use NSArray or NSMutableArray in this setup, i could have easily found out the number of levels/waves using [array count]. But since this is a primitive C type array i cant figure out how to do that.

   And I am still wondering if this is the best way to hold a level data in a game.

   I would like to thank this community for helping newbies like me. It really saves a lot of time.
