Hah! I really couldn't care less about the subject. Perhaps it'd be better to pretend I didn't comment.

It's just that there are two common rants between "C people" and "C++ people". The one AnotherJake already covered ("C can't do stuff C++ can!!") with a good rebuttal. The other, "there's no good reason to use C++ for games because Mr. X-and-Foo didn't" is what I was covering. The C++ compiler inserts "this" pointers and handles the function pointers for you, so you might as well use it. That's why it's less manual. Whether that's a good thing or not is a whole other debate... Smile Arguably it's more intuitive though to do:

robot->move(2, 10);

than:

robot->move(robot, 2, 10);

Anyway, ignore me.. back to your regularly scheduled new game code help. Smile
