📝 set_map

This function processes the map data and allocates memory for it based on the given input. It checks if the input map structure is valid and processes the map buffer to calculate its length before allocating memory.

⚙️ Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
map	t_map*	A pointer to the map structure containing the map data.
i	int	The index to start processing from in the map buffer.

🔁 Returns

Return value	Description
bool	Returns true if the map was successfully processed and memory was allocated, or false in case of an error.

📖 Description

The set_map function is responsible for processing the map data stored in the map structure's buffer. The function checks for valid input and processes the buffer to determine the length of the map data. It then allocates memory for the map using the alloc_map function.

• The function first checks if the map pointer is valid and if the index i is non-negative. If not, it returns false.
• It calculates the length of the map buffer by skipping any empty lines.
• It checks if the next valid line exists in the buffer. If not, it returns false.
• The function then calculates the final length of the map and calls alloc_map to allocate memory for the map.
• If memory allocation fails, the function returns false. If all operations succeed, it returns true.

💡 Example Usage

t_map map = {0}; // Initialize a map structure
int index = 5; // Start processing from index 5 in the map buffer

if (set_map(&map, index)) {
    printf("Map set successfully!\n");
} else {
    printf("Error setting the map.\n");
}
