class PlayerArray

PlayerArray is a sophisticated data structure intended to function both like an Array and a Hashtable. It maintains a list of players that can be accessed either by looping through the values or by addressing them by name.

For example, assume we have three players: Bob, Tim, and Joe. The following examples are both valid methods of looking up the player "Tim".

//Assume that "players" is an instance of PlayerArray
  for(var i=0; i<players.length; i++)
  {
      if(players[i].name == "Tim")
       {
           game.log("Tim was at index #" + i + ".");
      }
  }
  
  //Prints "player.name = Tim"
  game.log("player.name = " + players["Tim"].name);

You can also find the names of all the players in the array by looping through it with the "for(var in array)" statement. For example:

//Prints out "Bob", "Tim", and "Joe"
  for(var i in players)
  {
      game.log(i);
  }
