Hi guys,

Cheerz!  Cool

Which is a good thing!   Grin

Personally, I've used procedural languages too long to really take to OOP.

OK, official line Wink

Not at the moment...... BUT....
Cobra is designed to adapt, and have OO functionality in the future. If you want to know what I mean look at how Turbo Pascal gained features to become Object Pascal.

No change of name for Cobra though, and even when OOP comes in you'll be free to use procedural code, or OOP, or (maybe!) both.
Typical style of code when Cobra gains its oop will be mainly in this area
Code:
type mytype = typeof(athing)
    x,y,z:integer;
    speed:integer;private
    procedure GoUP(value:integer)
    begin
        y=y-speed
        speed = value
    end
endtype

var
 atype:mtype
begin
  atype.goUp(20)
end
 

But don't hold me to this, as it's not in there yet (and won't be for a while, certainly after Cobra3D)

I'd prefer to see a DirectX module before an OOP one.

Oop 'may' well make it easier for me to do DX Wink

State of what happens with DX, is VERY dependent on how Vista goes, both in terms of uptake, and general public impressions of vista.

Just one point about allowing people to use either OOP or procedural.  BlitzMax has this approach but everybody now uses OOP - so if you post code to help someone that has an 'old syntax' Cobra that's no help at all - especially in complex code.

As I say, it's not set in stone (or even written yet), so I'll cross that bridge when I get to it Wink Not worth worrying about as yet.
