[SDL] SDL_gui revival?

[Atrix Wolfe]

yeah, im talking about OOP.  C/C++ is my language of choice, but with the
OOP capabilites of C++, you get monstrosoties of abused OOP such as MFC and
things which since they make sense in the physical world programmers assume
they make sense internaly to the computer as well (CApple inherits the
CFruit class which inherits the CPlant class which inherits the CLife class
which inherits the CThing class etc..).  I aint dissin C++, just poor
programming practices and methodologies and some poorly designed languages
that work only because modern computers can waste lots of cycles and still
preform at decent speeds (:

i myself like C++ for new and delete instead of malloc and free (and i do
like structures and objects on occaision) but on the other hand prefer
*printf to cout/cin and the file io of C...fopen fread fwrite fclose etc.
