is there any chance array curve should be an array of base curves instead of an array of key frame containers? |

The base curves would have a bunch of duplicate info that we would want to avoid, e.g. they would all have shared pointer to the event loop, their own IDs, and ID strings. Basically, the curve array container should only have this information once. |
Then the IDs wouldn't be unique which would be a problem for the event system. Since all curves are event entities, duplicating the information would either lead to all contained curves being updated or worse, only one curve being tracked by the event loop. It would also be a waste of space, since we have to store a bunch of redundant data which is what we want to avoid with a dedicated Array class. Also, |

alright, currently implementing the changes, really appreciate all the feedback. |

Is there a reason why this class doesn't implement CurveIterator and uses a different strategy for iterating?

One reason would be that std::_Array_const_iterator doesn't have base as a member, which is referred to in iterator.h line:95, and thus unable to inherit from CurveIterator
But to be honest when the choice was made it was arbitrary.

I'm going to do a few tests today and then see if we can merge :) |

out of interest what was wrong with the origonal implementation?

Nothing in particular. Your code still worked and was fine, in case you wondered about that.
The main motvation for this change was to change the type of the local variable hint from size_t to auto because I got some compiler hints about that. I think these were caused by me changing the element type in the last_elements to be KeyframeContainer<T>::elem_ptr so that it's more explicit. However, that means that the compiler has to deduce more layers of typedefs and check if they are compatible to size_t and that can apparently be a bit wonky when using the member in code, especially in templates. I could have declared hint as KeyframeContainer<T>::elem_ptr too, but changing the type to auto lets the compiler do this automatically and is much shorter to write.
Closes #1678
