I've used 3 dimensional arrays to produce mini-mystery games where the x,y
was the location and z was time.
Basically the x,y defaults to a standard "room picture clip" if n[x][y][z]
was empty, but you can add an "event" to any room by pointing n[x][y][z] at
an animation or movie file.
then you let the person wander, where north is x-1, south x+1, west y-1, and
east y+1, and every move increments z by 1.
Admittedly really primitive, but it worked for a simple "TESOL through
gaming" demo I did back in my grad school days in VB.
Mike.

well yeah i can see how it can be used for math stuff. but i mean like a
real situation

to hold 3 dimensional data. sorry.
Simple example. some kind of cubic sample. like say air temperature in a
room for each specific cubic foot. The index is h,w,l and the value
corresponds to the appropriate cube in the room.
I can get a better, more practival example if you like.

how would one use a third dimensional array? it's hard for me to
conceptualize a practical use for it!
