OOP gives me nightmares...

Object Oriented Programming sucks.

I've been continuing my little quest to make my own game, and after many shoddy attempts, I decided to wise it up and follow a tutorial out of a book. I've never been one for any of the Centridge Learning products, as in the past I've found thier course material to be rather dry and unhelpful. But after a thorough flip-through of the book, i started getting excited.


I'm used to a linear style of programming, the "call this function, then that function in the loop" style. I've always seen some of the advanced concepts like classes to be painful, and never really gave them much thought. As such, I suck at OOP.

This is one of the few books I've seen though, that teaches OOP straight from the get go, and not in a ham handed manner. It's pretty good, but it starts getting a bit convoluted and wordy at the end.

Anyway... here's my latest failure ag game making!
