    May I ask why you want to mimick OOP in C instead of using C++?

    Maybe just for fun.

    They have a show on Discovery Channel, I think it is called "Lost secrets of the Ancient World" or something like that. In that show a bunch of guys have to build bridges, cranes, ships etc using only ancient materials, technologies and tools. ( not that C is ancient or anything)

    There is another point: if you by some circumstances need to program in C, it's generally better to use OOP style.

    You use lots of structs, construct with Create() functions and destroy with Destroy() functions.

    Polymorphism is achieved with pointers to functions.

    It is possible to simulate OOP in C but I'm not sure if it is worth it. If the decission to use C and not C++ was correct it means that you do not need an OOP approach and that you are aiming for something else. In that case why use OOP?

    This is a more generic question actually: why force OOP on languages not designed for it? ASM, Visual Basic etc are fine languages for the tasks they were designed to. OOP is not among those tasks.

    I don't get exactly why anyone would choose C nowadays.

    I think a hardcore C# programmer asks himself the very same question.

    It doesn't. There may be external causes forcing to use C.

    There may be singleton decision space.
