====== MATRIX ======
a matrix (array in other languages) is a multidimensional list of variables.
<code>
HAI
CAN HAS STDIO?
I HAS A TBL ITZA MATRIX
TBL 0 IZ 1
TBL 1 IZ 2
TBL 2 IZ "^_^"
TBL 3 IZA MATRIX
TBL 3 0 IZ TBL 0
I HAS A I ITZ 0
IM IN UR LOOP, UPPIN YR I!!1 TILL NERF LENGTH IN UR TBL!!1
	VISIBLE TBL I
IM OUTA UR LOOP
VISIBLE TBL 3 0
KTHXBYE
</code>
== Noobs ==
  I HAS A TBL ITZA MATRIX
creates a new variable called tbl and makes it a matrix
  TBL 0 IZ 1
the first element in tbl is now 1
  TBL 3 IZA MATRIX
create a new matrix within the original matrix
  IM IN UR LOOP, UPPIN YR I!!1 TILL NERF LENGTH IN UR TBL!!1
stay in the loop, increase I by 1 until i>=tbl.length-1
  VISIBLE TBL 3 0
prints the value at tbl[3][0]

Proposal for alternate syntax - I guess MATRIX is ok, but I was thinking PILE

<code>
I HAS A pokemons IZ PILE
pokemons 0 IZ "Pikachu"
pokemons 1 IZ "Jigglypuff"
</code>

then to loop through the PILE

<code>
ALL MAH pokemons IZ pokemon
    VISIBLE pokemon
MOAR
</code>

MAH BUKKIT has been proposed. BUKKIT is probably a better array indicator.

<code>
I HAS A pokemons IZ BUKKIT
</code>

Need a good syntax for showing the keys too.

BUKKIT is a nice keyword for array, didn't think of that :p

For the keys, we could use the # to indicate number, like
  TBL#1,3
would be the same as tbl[1][3]

How about R for getting an object of a particular type?
<code>
I HAS A TBL R MATRIX
I HAS A VAR IZ 0
</code>

I gotta say, I like [[mah-bukkit|mah]] better than matrix.  Matrix seems invented, while MAH has kitty precedence.

Agree with the above. Also, when I coded up [[hey-guys]] for threading, MAH just flowed better.
