foreach.gml
It is a foreach()
loop implementation for GameMaker: Studio 2.3+ for arrays, ds_lists, ds_maps, ds_stacks, ds_queues, ds_priorities and structs.
Note: queue-type data structures such as stacks, queues, and priorities will be empty after full foreach pass.
The general syntax is:
foreach(collection as (item) {
// do things with item
});
You also can receive additional parameters such as iteration index, key for map, priority for priority queue, and property name for a struct, specifying it inside as
keyword brackets after item var.
Installation:
Get the latest asset package from the releases page. Import it into IDE.
Alternatively copy the code from corresponding scripts into your project.
Examples:
Foreach in array:
var apples = ["red", "green", "yellow", "mac", "forbidden"];
foreach(apples as (apple, i) {
show_debug_message(string(i) + ": " + apple);
});
Output:
0: red
1: green
2: yellow
3: mac
4: forbidden
Foreach in struct:
var apples = { red : "delicious", green : "eww", yellow : "yum" };
foreach_struct(apples as (taste, color) {
show_debug_message(color + " is " + taste);
});
Output:
yellow is yum
red is delicious
green is eww
Foreach in list:
var apples = ds_list_create();
ds_list_add(apples, "red", "green", "yellow", "mac", "forbidden");
foreach_list(apples as (apple, i) {
show_debug_message(string(i) + ": " + apple);
});
Output:
0: red
1: green
2: yellow
3: mac
4: forbidden
Foreach in map:
var apples = ds_map_create();
ds_map_add(apples, "red", "delicious");
ds_map_add(apples, "green", "eww");
ds_map_add(apples, "yellow", "yum");
foreach_map(apples as (taste, color) {
show_debug_message(color + " is " + taste);
});
Output:
yellow is yum
red is delicious
green is eww
Foreach in stack:
var apples = ds_stack_create();
ds_stack_push(apples, "red", "green", "yellow", "mac", "forbidden");
foreach_stack(apples as (apple, i) {
show_debug_message(string(i) + ": " + apple);
});
Output:
0: forbidden
1: mac
2: yellow
3: green
4: red
Foreach in queue:
var apples = ds_queue_create();
ds_queue_enqueue(apples, "red", "green", "yellow", "mac", "forbidden");
foreach_queue(apples as (apple, i) {
show_debug_message(string(i) + ": " + apple);
});
Output:
0: red
1: green
2: yellow
3: mac
4: forbidden
Foreach in priority:
var apples = ds_priority_create();
ds_priority_add(apples, "red", 10);
ds_priority_add(apples, "green", 30);
ds_priority_add(apples, "yellow", 20);
foreach_priority(apples as (apple, priority) {
show_debug_message(string(priority) + ": " + apple);
});
Output:
30: green
20: yellow
10: red
Break:
You can add breakeach
keyword in that foreach with a hacky modification, but it's not recommended as a foreach loop is not intended to be breakable.
#macro breakeach breakme[@ 0] = true;
function foreach(array, func) {
var breakme = array_create(1);
breakme[0] = false;
var size = array_length(array);
for (var i = 0; i < size; i++) {
if (breakme[0] == true) break;
var element = array[i];
func(element, i, breakme);
}
}
var apples = ["red", "green", "yellow", "mac", "forbidden"];
foreach(apples as (apple, i, breakme) {
show_debug_message(apple);
if (i == 2) breakeach;
});
