Re: bizarre Array issue absolutely doing my head in

you'll notice that any number appearing in more than one box will start wildly offsetting, because the original points in the array have been changed ???

correct, there's no "clone" Array command, curNumPath = numShapes[curNum]; is not making a separate copy of the array, curNumPath is just a reference to the numShapes array

var arr1 = [[0,1],[2,3]];
var arr2 = arr1;


$.writeln(arr1);
$.writeln(arr2);


arr2[0][0] = 7;


$.writeln(arr1);
$.writeln(arr2);
