OK, I am making a thread for me to ask questions on, lets see if I can get this figured out.

I am trying to make a bitmap editor.

here is my code:

#include <color.h>
#include <display.h>
#include <display_syscalls.h>
#include <keyboard.hpp>
#include <keyboard_syscalls.h>
/* USEFUL ROUTINES */
#include "routines.h"


/* FUNCTIONS */
void dispCanvas(int x, int y, int width, int height, int zoom, char canvas) {
    for (int i = 0; i < width; i++) {
        for (int j = 0; j < height; j++) {
            if (canvas[i][j]) {
                fillArea(i*zoom+x, j*zoom+y, zoom, zoom, canvas[i][j]);
            }
        }
    }
}

/* MAIN FUNCTION */
int main() {
    int key;
    int key_dump;

    int cursor[2] = {1,1};
    int origin[2] = {1,1};

    int canvas_height = 8;
    int canvas_width = 8;
    char canvas[8]<img src='/dot/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/8.jpg' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='[8]' />;

    canvas[0]<img src='/dot/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/0.jpg' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='[0]' /> = makeColor(255, 100, 0);
    canvas[0]<img src='/dot/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/8.jpg' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='[8]' /> = makeColor(255, 100, 0);
    canvas[8]<img src='/dot/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/0.jpg' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='[0]' /> = makeColor(255, 100, 0);
    canvas[8]<img src='/dot/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/8.jpg' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='[8]' /> = makeColor(255, 100, 0);

    /* MAIN LOOP, NEVER BREAK */
    while (1) {
        /* GETKEY */
        /*
        switch (PRGM_GetKey()) {
            // handle menu
            case KEY_PRGM_MENU:
                GetKey(&key_dump);
                break;
            // move cursor
            case KEY_PRGM_UP && cursor[0]>0:
                cursor[0]--;
                break;
            case KEY_PRGM_DOWN && cursor[0]<canvas_height:
                cursor[0]++;
                break;
            case KEY_PRGM_LEFT && cursor[1]>0:
                cursor[1]--;
                break;
            case KEY_PRGM_RIGHT && cursor[1]<canvas_width:
                cursor[1]++;
                break;
        }
        */

        dispCanvas(origin[0], origin[1], canvas_width, canvas_height, 4, canvas);
    }


    return 1;
}


And my error.

Could someone help me figure this out? not sure what a subscripted value is, nor why it can't be int...

(I am very new to C)

If this is Prizm c (!not c++), you can't write for(int i = ..., because c doesn't support this.
Try to write
int i;
for(i = 0; ...

I am not getting warnings or errors about initializing the var in the for loop, but i changed it anyway.

Now, I got rid of all the errors and warnings except one. I know it is because something is wrong with my pointers, but I don't know what.

Write char *canvas instead ;)
** is a pointer to a pointer (so you probably would need *canvas[i][j], but that doesn't make much sense), you need only a pointer to an array.

EDIT:

I forgot to mention that you should read from the pointer this way then: ...zoom, zoom, *(canvas + i * width + j).


Short explanation:
memory with adresses:
[] [] [] [] []...
0x1,0x2,0x3,0x4,0x5...
(lotsa space, there's nothing saved)

Now you create an array (chars) X3 = {1, 2, 3}. The compiler takes some memory to save the data:
<span class=1' /> <span class=2' /> <span class=3' /> [] []...
0x1,0x2,0x3,0x4,0x5...
(now there is something!)

You want to create a pointer Xptr. You write Xptr = &X, so Xptr is set to the first element of X (= 0x1). (I don't exactly know how a pointer is saved - imagine it would be saved like a normal, single byte -> the compiler takes this byte to save the pointer)

<span class=1' /> <span class=2' /> <span class=3' /> [0x1][]...
0x1,0x2,0x3,0x4,0x5...
(now there is your data and the pointer)

Now you can write X2 or *(Xptr + 2), then you fetch the '3'.

So when you use a pointer to a pointer (we call it Xptrptr), the memory probably looks like this:

<span class=1' /> <span class=2' /> <span class=3' /> [0x1][0x4]...
0x1,0x2,0x3,0x4,0x5...
(data, pointer to data, pointer to pointer of data)

So you have to write *Xptrptr, when you want to have the adress of Xptr, and **Xptr when you want to have the first element of X. Why? Xptrptr is taken -> go to Xptrs memory position -> this is taken as pointer again; it points to data.

I hope everything is correct.

(Without words ;)...)

Accessing to arrays by a pointer is also possible this way.
My way is the way I like it - pointer to pointer scares me.
