should the game itself be its own class that the main.cpp creates and calls? or should the game be created in the main.cpp because there would only be one of them anyway? ---------------------- i code therefore i am. Aero DX - Coming to a bored Monitor near you!

If you desire an OO concept, encapsulation should be applied wherever possible. This also seperates the game code from the system code. I prefer to split the game into several gamestates (intro, menu, game, ...) which are managed by a gamemanager class which I usually implement as a Singleton. But finally, the right approach depends on the size of your project. If you are going to write a simple number guessing console game, it probably wouldn''t be worth the effort.

i see no point in the singleton. just create it in the main function, and done.
