usage

import (
    "image"

    "github.com/drabkey/grid"
)

const mapW, mapH = 100, 100

func valueExample() {
    // working with value-types is straightforward
    g := grid.New[int](image.Rect(0, 0, mapW, mapH))

    // now grid is filled with nil-value for your type
    // you still can re-fill it with some other values:
    g.Fill(func() int {
        return 1
    })
}

func pointerExample() {
    // working with pointer-types is same, but you now you must to pre-fill them
    type mycell struct {}

    g := grid.New[*mycell](image.Rect(0, 0, mapW, mapH))

    // now grid is filled with nil's, so you need pre-fill it with some values,
    // otherwise you will access those nil's with Get / MustGet methods.
    g.Fill(func() *mycell {
        return &mycell{}
    })
}

func usageExample() {
    type mycell struct {
        wall bool
    }

    g := grid.New[*mycell](image.Rect(0, 0, mapW, mapH))

    g.Fill(func() *mycell {
        return &mycell{}
    })

    pt := image.Pt(10, 10)

    // set new value
    g.Set(pt, &mycell{wall: true})

    // update existing value
    if v, ok := g.Get(pt); ok {
        v.wall = false
    }

    // shorthand, for above, will panic on out-of-bounds access
    g.MustGet(pt).wall = true

    // iterate items
    g.Iter(func(p image.Point, c *mycell) (next bool) {
        if c.wall {
            // wall found
        }

        return true
    })
}
