is it possible to have a 3d dimensional array? as in make-array '(6 7
7)?
I have to make a 3d connect4 game for school, and it would be much
simpler if this was possible.

thanks

sure looks like you're on the right track to me.

(make-array '(6 7 7))

I thought I was too, but for some reason I keep getting this:

error: bad argument type - (6 7 7)

Is this Common Lisp?
If so, which compiler?

I'd suggest using clisp if possible.  You'll be able to find
tutorials, references, and get help from comp.lang.lisp
folks much more easily.  I suggest clisp because it's
easy to install and has good help facilities.

Bad idea.  XLisp is not Common Lisp.  Dump it and get either CMUCL
(www.cons.org), CLisp (clisp.cons.org), LWW (www.xanalys.com) or ACL
(www.franz.com).

Which Lisp are you using?
