- This program demonstrates the use of Dreamscape from C. Dreamscape's flexible
- event handler routines, and some other routines, are usable from C (and are
- a vast improvement on Acorn's routines).
-
- The program also demonstrates using C to write object-oriented programs,
- although C does not provide as many features for encapsulation as C++, and
- you don't have C++'s features to make object-oriented programming easier.
-
- If you are writing with C, you will have to call the Toolbox SWIs yourself
- (via OSLib), which makes the program more low-level and less portable
- (although this is academic at the moment, because Dreamscape is only
- available for the Toolbox under RISC OS). This does tend to make programs
- written like this smaller, though, because many Dreamscape modules do not
- have to be linked in, and using C++ for O-O programming can bloat programs a
- bit (or a lot, depending on how you look at it :-) ).
