Hmmm, I think however that software like Enterprise Architect is far too
complex and requires at least minimal UML knowledge for someone just
trying to wrap their head around OOP. It's a grea
Joe, that sounds like a really useful approach. I imaging it gets you on the
right track with distinct objects and duties. The way I understand MVC, I'd
guess that you'd use MVC to implement the *nouns* (if it seemed
appropriate). i.e. Pacman might have a model to store his state (e.g.

Hi David,

using ActionScript. I *think* I'm now pretty nifty with my OOP but still

great, but they can also give you an overwhelming feeling of all you
don't know.
What I would do is this - start out slow. Don't feel like you have to
do it "by the book" - that's just not possible until you gain some

Hey,
It's a state of mind being able to separate tasks into object
relationships that only becomes natural with time and practice. I learnt
by following an AS 1.0 game tutorial*, transcoding to AS 2.0 as I
followed it. That way I didn't have to think at all about the actual
