Orignal post
I was thinking since V3 was supposedly based on C#, no problems. I'll get on with it. But then, apparently, it wasn't (what happened to that, anyway), and I don't see anything about OOP in the documentation. Shucks.
Any intentions of adding that in the future? I'm sure I could get by without it, but it sure would be nice...
(question needs tidying up)
We have structures and multidimensional arrays to work with, but I doubt OOP will ever be in Verge3.
Sphere and Ika both have OOP scripting languages, and offer viable opportunities for the seasoned programmer.
I too like OOP, and although vc is sometimes limiting, I find that it often limits in a good way, condusive to cranking things out quickly.
(other stuff about procedural ways of doing OO things?)
