StarWarsArrays.jl is a Julia package to provide
arrays indexed as the order of the Star Wars movies. Thus, index 4 points to
the first element of the parent array, index 2 points to its fifth element, and
index 9 points to the nineth element. The ordering applies to all dimensions of
the array. StarWarsArrays.jl also supports Machete
Order.
This package is inspired by the Reddit thread "Oof level of an array, nice.".
The latest version of StarWarsArrays.jl is available for Julia v1.0 and
later releases, and can be installed with Julia's built-in package
manager. In a Julia session, after
entering the package manager mode with ], run the command
