Hi John,
Thank you. For now I don't think that my games and code are broken. I hope
that will remain so for awhile.
BTW This is not the first time that I have gone through this with another game
developer slash moderator of this list.

Jim,
You're not alone in colliding with object oriented languages.
I do this for a living and the transition was ugly at first.
Many of your best practices as a structured coder are exactly the opposite
from O O best practices.
There are advantages to O O coding. But I think you're right: if what you
do coding your games ain't broke, don't fix it.
That being said...
Tristan,
I've coded for money in almost every language there is, going back to
Sanscrit (But not Python.)
The advantages of C++ and C Sharp are that there are a lot of tools and Web
support for those languages.
I prefer Java because it is easier than C++ . Also its supporting libraries
and third party software are not tied to Windows. And, there are more jobs
coding Java.
Thomas and Jason are spot on in pointing out what makes O O distinct. In
addition, I think the biggest advantage O O has for coding games is that
the ability of one class to inherit features from a parent class lets you
not only reuse code, but enhance it without breaking your original games.

If it ain't broke, I could probably fix it.
