Well I'm going to leave it at that since I don't want a OO war :lol:

However I still think they can be the better approach sometimes.

Although I will admit I just spent the entire day rewriting all the singleton crap in EQ's engine with a AssetManager, I'm not so full of shit that I won't listen to people who have been programing for like twice as long as me ( I think Falco has been programming for three times longer )

Oh and one more thing, virtual functions are awesome MY BAD!

I am happy to announce that I have stripped my engine of all singletons. Frankly, I like this design much more than before.

True OOP FTW.

Same here. I never really liked using singletons, it was just an easy fix for a problem.
I'll make your software hardware.
