A bit "a la" sparse matrix. With that, the memory space is allocated only when a new corridor is created at run time. Opposed to this is a "static implementation" where the needed memory space is allocated at compile time, hence using a maximum memory. I'm not sure these terms are correct in English, they are a direct translation from the terms we use in French. Does these definitions help you understand what I wanted with my code? > Does the private type above meet your needs? If not, why not? > It will meet my needs, but only because we reduced our needs. Part of the definition of our project was to extend our maze to a Nth dimension space, not just 3 dim... If we still had to do it in a larger dimensional space, I think this solution would be difficult to use. Anyway, thanks a lot for your help.
