  Hello, here is a little issue I faced when I was playing with Arrays.

  I was trying to create a 5x5 two-dimensional array after reading a tutorial scirra.com/tutorials/307/arrays-for-beginners/page-3. The goal was to display array as a square matrix like:

  0 1 2 3 4

  5 6 7 8 9

  ....

  The main thing here was to correctly insert a newline on the beginning of each row. Here are some confusing moments:

  1) When I created a compare event I noticed that each new row increased X value, not Y value. The tutorial read the opposite.

  2) Array property Width controls maximum X values, not Y as expected according to #1 (the same is for Height controlling max. Y values)

  Shouldn't the Width and Height properties be called visa versa as long as X determines Rows (Height) and Y determines columns (Width) ?

  Am I missing something in this idea?
