[REBOL] array coordinates

From: cyoungbl::legato::com at: 8-Aug-2001 15:11

I've created a simple array block like this:

	board-state: [
		[ r r r r ]
		[ r r k r ]
		[ r r r r ]
		[ 0 0 0 0 ]
		[ 0 0 0 0 ]
		[ b b b b ]
		[ b j b b ]
		[ b b b b ]
	]

When trying to access an array element, the syntax is pretty convoluted.
For example, I've been accessing x-y coordinates in the array like this:

pick pick board-state y x

I'm a neophyte with REBOL, so I don't doubt that there may be an easier way.
What happened to C or Pascal's easy notation?

board-state[x][y]

Thanks,
Carl
