✅ how do i read a global variable

as you can see, my code currently relies on a variable which is passed byref, but i would really rather it be a global variable. i get an error when i try to do that though

you defined rookLookup only in the constructor, which means it only exists in that constructor, you need to define it as a field

oh so declare it as a field, then initialise it?

TheRanger•2d ago

yes, also you wont need to pass it as an argument to a method since you can access the field directly
