Primpy Comments - Answer Overflow

To clarify, AddLocalizedText is called with the parameter LanguageStrings.StartGameButtonString, which is a string declared in the body of my class. The desired result is for the Item2 of LocalizedText to update by itself whenever the value of StartGameButtonString is modified. Sorry if I worded this poorly.

❔ How to make a list of tuples that hold references?

My goal was to have Item2 have a reference to the string so it would automatically update. Is that possible?

❔ How to make a list of tuples that hold references?

It's part of a larger project. The relevant code looks something like this:

public static List<(Text, string)> LocalizedText { get; set; } = new();

public static void SetEnglish()
{
  StartGameButtonString = "START GAME";
...
}

public static void SetRomanian()
{
  StartGameButtonString = "INCEPE JOCUL";
...
}

public static void AddLocalizedText(Text text, string str) { LocalizedText.Add((text, str)); }

public static void Update()
{
  Initialize();
  foreach (var localizedText in LocalizedText)
  {
    localizedText.Item1.DisplayedString = localizedText.Item2;
  }
}

public static List<(Text, string)> LocalizedText { get; set; } = new();

public static void SetEnglish()
{
  StartGameButtonString = "START GAME";
...
}

public static void SetRomanian()
{
  StartGameButtonString = "INCEPE JOCUL";
...
}

public static void AddLocalizedText(Text text, string str) { LocalizedText.Add((text, str)); }

public static void Update()
{
  Initialize();
  foreach (var localizedText in LocalizedText)
  {
    localizedText.Item1.DisplayedString = localizedText.Item2;
  }
}

I noticed the problem when placing a breakpoint inside the Update() function. Even though the contents of StartGameButtonString were updated, the string inside localizedText.Item2 was not. Is the problem here or should I look somewhere else?

I see, thanks :)
