game = {0,{0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0},"","","name",0} -- is a sequence
or game is {1, 2>{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11}, 3, 4, 5, 6}
integer game_name
game_name = game[name] or game[5th position] -- you can not do this
your saying
game_name = ""
where "" is a string or considered a sequence
so, you have to do this
game = {0,{0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0},"","","name",0}
sequence game_name
game_name = game[name]
now game_name will be "name"
just think of integers as numbers and strings as sequences but, sequences can
contain both integers
and strings but we'll leave that for another lesson.
Reading the documentation that comes with Euphoria can help understand
sequences.
