(SOLVED) Quiz game - issue with arrays and dict

UnknownUser

Hi all, I'm new here. Moving my first steps into Godot and programming. Sorry for my bad English.

So I'm trying to develop a little quiz game and I'm stuck on the following issue:

Basically I have the letters for the answer and in the upper part (with a lenght of 4 in this case) the buttons/placeholders to display the answer, once a button is pressed.

I have two mechanisms:

1) Pressing a button will: 1a) selecting that letter for composing the answer 1b) put visible=false on the button pressed, reducing the number of the buttons

2) Pressing a button on the answer part would : 2a) remove the letter from the answer 2b) put visible=true on the relative button that was pressed before

I can solve issue no.1a) and 1b) but I cannot solve the second part. So far I've used 3 arrays to store: 1) the buttonId pressed 2) the letter 3) a counter

My question is:

what is the best approach to solve the issue number 2?

Dictionaries? What would you do? At this moment I need your logic approach, less than the right code :)

Thank you!! Tob

I don't have enough knowledge to solve this issue, either. But I know that ,,Best approach for my issue?" is a bad post title. This reads too generic because it doesn't describe the issue at all.

The title should (at least try to) describe the issue in very short, and the text body is there to elaborate, You might want to repost it under a name like ,,How could I fix this issue with my letters quiz game?". I know, this also doesn't describe the issue, which is still less than ideal, but at least I tried.

Hopefully, this way, your post will get the attention of people who DO have the answer. Even better if you post it as a question. The Godot Forums have 2 types of post: Discussions and Questions. In the beginning, I also erroneously posted 1 question as a Discussion.

Thank you for your advice. I solved my issue with a dictionary, storing at the same time data from the two different sets
