RE: [Exult-general] Singletons

[Andrew S. <ans...@mi...>]

Ah... I see. That was the ACE approach. You could take the KDE approach
which was to make a Kglobals class and make all your globals public
static members of that class.

class Exult
{
	static MyClass game_window;
};

...
Exult::game_window.foo();

Something like that.
