Description

Position structure for 2D coordinates.

Positions are 0-indexed, so position [0,0] and (assuming a gridSize of 20 in the config) [19, 19] are valid positions, but [-1,-1] and [20,20] are not.

There can never be two objects at the same position. To check whether there is something at a given position, use g.ObjectAtPos(). If it returns nil, there's nothing there.

Signature

type Position struct {
	X uint
	Y uint
}
 
func NewPosition(x, y uint) Position

Parameters

  • X uint: X coordinate
  • Y uint: Y coordinate

Examples

func manhattanDistance(pos1, pos2 game.Position) int {
	dx := int(pos1.X) - int(pos2.X)
	dy := int(pos1.Y) - int(pos2.Y)
	if dx < 0 {
		dx = -dx
	}
	if dy < 0 {
		dy = -dy
	}
	return dx + dy
}
💡 The Game struct has a built-in Distance() method: g.Distance(pos1, pos2).
