I have some OSX specific sections of code like message box etc that I made when I started playing with the stuff you presented in the draft article, would you be interested in including these in the source ?

Were the symbols used in your diagram a specific standard like UML or anything? Trying to find decent resources on diagramatic program design but have yet to find anything much if anyone has any hints on where to look and what modelling language to start with (is UML best for C++ game/app development or is there a better tool for designing games/apps?) Sorry to hijack the thread

Will you be building any sort of working game by the end of this or are you just going over engine internals?

void IMMObject::Release()

      liveObjects.remove(this);
      deadObjects.push_back(this); // Why not delete the object here?
   }

};
 

Log::init();
Log:: printLog ("Initialized the log\n");

I love it! Good work I just have one question. In IMMObject's constructor, you push the this pointer into liveObjects. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the this pointer wasn't valid until after the constructor was finished?

most important to me wasn't understanding the code as that bit I can do ok, it's the structure and design of the engine
