Thanks stodge, but I didn't understand the "visitor" concept from what I read of it. I think I'd rather stick with using the simple concepts that I could actually successfully deploy at my experience level (for now).

Why not? I read the thread in passing and tried to point something out. May or may not be relevant but what the hey. *shrug*
I read this:
"Each loop, I'll iterate through the list, calling an update() function."
and this:
"You see, I need a complex hierarchy of classes, and each class that represents a kind of entity that will exist in the world needs an update() function."
And I just thought "Visitor". Unless I've misunderstood something in the his post.
Again, *shrug*.

That happens when two problems are discussed in parallel. I haven't read the thread from the start. You are right, stodge, about problem 1, my answer stays valid too for problem 2.

Oh yeah, sorry for the lack of clarity. I asked two completely different questions in this thread.
