I'm looking for a way to translate this array into FASM v 1.43 from HLA
matrix4x4: real32[4,4];
The only way I could get the source to assemble was to use this
matrix4x4: times 4-4 dd ?
Is this a correct translation?
If not how would I translate it and if so would the correct translation for
FASM v 1.62 be this?
matrix4x4: dup 4-4 dd ?

A 2d matrix is just an index mapped 1d matrix
4x4
0 1 2 3
4 5 6 7
8 9 1011
12131415
so
matrix4x4 rd 4*4 ; reserve 16 dwords for a 4x4 matrix
to access IE:
MOV ECX, INDEX ; 0 - 15
MOV EAX, dword [matrix4x4 + ECX * 4] ;4 because dword is 4bytes

Using RD (reserve dword should work just fine for you.
Just have to make any indexes 1d instead of 2d
matrix2x3 rd 2*3
matrix3x4 rd 3*4

Hy jdawg,
if you are sticked to the multi imensional arrays, you can use this kind of approach

Code:

;to access ELEMENTS:

MOV EBX, [xmatrix]; 0 - 3
MOV ECX, [ymatrix]; 0 - 3
SHL ECX, 4
MOV EAX, dword [matrix4x4 + ECX  + EBX * 4]


ymatrix rd ?
xmatrix rd ?

matrix4x4 rd 4*4 ; reserve 16 dwords for a 4x4 matrix

Thanks for the input I found that r22's post was what I needed to do. But I might try the two single matrix approach as well Very Happy
