I'm completing an article on beginning object-oriented programming with REALbasic, including object-oriented design. While I give code examples throughout the article to demonstrate each OOP feature of REALbasic, and why you'd use it, I'd like to include a start-to- finish sample project to demonstrate the advantages of OOP over procedural programming. I'd solve the same programming task with both procedural and OOP programming styles.

Unfortunately, I'm drawing a blank on what to use as a sample project. All of the ones I've come up with just seem to be too contrived (or lame). I'd like the finished program to be useful to the reader both as a teaching tool and as a program itself (i.e., solving a real programming problem).

I'd appreciate any suggestions you might have for programs you would have liked to have seen when you were learning OOP.

Thanks in advance for your help.
