Well, you can have an array of event factories:IEvent function()[2] factories = [ factory1, factory2 ]; IEvent factory1() { return new Event1(); } IEvent factory2() { return new Event2(); } Then use enum for indexing: IEvent e = factories[NumEvent1]();
Yes, I suppose an array would work, but realize that since enum is a compile time construct, the dynamic array is not necessary. And since your factories are all the time and always will be(if you change anything you have to refactor a lot of stuff).
It seems all this stuff could be simplified a great deal. And no one said you wouldn't have a switch. I'm not talking about creating some tycheyon particles. I'm simply talking about some way to hide the details(which, could be done with a string mixin but at the cost of not being able to parse them and debug them well).
