I am thinking up an idea in my head for the design of how I am going to manage my environment. Basically I want to create an easy to use system for adding areas to a world etc and was curious to have some feedback.
The idea is to have concepts of a World, continents, zone, etc. I was wondering if I should use inheritence like so
class World {};
class Continent: public World {};
class Zone: public Continent {};
Or would it go the other way around:
class Zone();
class Continent: public Zone {};
class World: Continent {};
The other way, is iwth no inheritence and each class just holds a contain that has all of its children in it.
What do you think?
World design help?
Whaaa?The reason why thinking inheritance would help would be in a case such as the position of the world changed, every child item would move with it, etc.
Why would the world need to move

freezzo,
If we talk about class organization, i would probably did something next:
class zone; // abstract or interface
class indoor : zone; // like cave, house ... or if i need more, i would "class house:indoor;", "class cave:indoor;" and so on.
class outdoor : zone; // like street, airport or a beach
The collection of this zones like continents and world, can be achieved next way:
class region; // this class manages collection of zones (usual this zones are close to each other, but that is not a restriction)
class continent; // ......... manages collection of regions
class world; // ................. manages collection of continents
