I wasn't trying to disuade you from redesigning using classes and OO design. I was just pointing out that the gains in doing so aren't usually in memory and processing speed, they are in reusability, flexability, and ease of development. I can certainly see advantages in using C++ in muds, particularly for it's polymorphism features which are much more cludgy to accomplish with standard C. So if you want to do it, go for it. But don't look to performance as your only benchmark, or you would be overlooking the major advantages of OO design. ~Kender ===== -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version 3.1 GCS/L/C/O d-(+) s++:+ a-- C+++$>++++ UBLS++++$ P+++(--)$ L++>+++ E--- W+>++$ N !o K? w(--) !O M- !V PS+ PE(++) Y+ PGP->+ t- 5 X+() R(+) tv+@ b++(+++) !DI+++ D G(-) e>+++$ h---() r+++ y+++ ------END GEEK CODE BLOCK------ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
