First of all, don't worry about your Engine class, unless this is going to be a serious commercial project, don't worry about what all of your classes are called. I am making a game engine and don't even have an Engine class right now, but don't worry about what I'm doing. Your square class should u...

Alright i'm sorry, I forgot about the link to the site Pixel posted but thanks once again!
