It sounds like what you’re saying is that multidimensional arrays don’t map the same in JS so I shouldn’t be using them. I could have keep the values in a flat array (like above) and indexed them using i = x + y * width but I wanted to avoid that since it’s extra overhead on a low level struct. The temporary solution of copying out to list is much worse so I need to pick my poison perhaps. Varient records/unions are out of the question also as a possible solution.
