It's not wrong.

If you want to pack your string, then yes, use char. It's trivial in this case, so you can leave it as it is:

PHP код:

new name[43]; // (20 - 2) for the actual size and 24 for the player's name + \0 


A brief explanation on what packed strings exactly are/do is also in the tutorial:
