help with data table :s

Projects Programming

hi,

i'm new to arduino and having trouble figuring out how to make a data table,
i'm trying to make a table (16x16) to store pre-selected numbers ranging from 0 - 5, i have two analog sensors an i need them to choose a number/cell in the table depending on both sensors values.

example, (not 16x16 but you get the idea)

4 4 4 4 5 5 5 5 5 5
4 4 4 4 4 5 5 5 5 5
4 4 4 4 4 5 5 5 5 5
3 4 4 4 4 4 5 5 5 5
y 3 3 3 4 4 4 4 5 5 5
3 3 3 3 4 4 4 4 5 5
2 3 3 3 3 4 4 4 4 5
2 2 2 2 3 3 3 4 4 4
1 1 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 4
1 1 1 2 2 2 3 3 3 3

do i store this data in an multidimensional array? an how would i write an algorithm to turn the two sensor values (y and X) into numbers on the grid ? sorry if this is a noob question :s i've tried looking on google but cant find any info on this. thanks

all you had to do was Google 'Arduino 2d array'

Beats storing it in a show box.

an how would i write an algorithm to turn the two sensor values (y and X) into numbers on the grid ?

   byte gridValue = gridArray[x][y];
