Well SC and GM are card based... and the code within the cards is procedural. Personally, I hate object oriented programming and love functional, but I'm sure everyone else will disagree with me.

Nope, procedural all the way for me. Actually that's ironic, since GM itself is an object in another language...

Object-oriented programming is incredibly useful when you are making more advanced games. Imagine keeping track of 100 enemies. Just create on object for each one of them that contains the following info:

Code: [Select]
Class Enemy {
 Â  string name
 Â  int health
 Â  int type
 Â  int level
 Â  int x
 Â  int y

 Â  method drawSelf() {
 Â     drawimage x,y
 Â  }
}

This way you just loop through all enemies in a list, and just do:

Code: [Select]
for enemy in enemylist:
   enemy.x = enemy.x + 1
 Â  enemy.drawSelf()

The exact same thing could be accomplished with

LET enemy$ = "health,type,level,x,y"
and some string field replacement tricks.

Or, in a language better than SilverCreator, you could use an array, list, or something similar.

OOP is more structured than procedural or functional, but it's syntax is often cryptic and it's compilers error prone.
