I think the way I code is already very OOP. I have many classes made with banks, and some of them have identical properties:

Const CLASS_CAMERA=1
Const CAMERA_POSITIONX=4
Const CAMERA_POSITIONY=8
Const CAMERA_POSITIONZ=12

Const CLASS_PLAYER=2
Const PLAYER_POSITIONX=4
Const PLAYER_POSITIONY=8
Const PLAYER_POSITIONZ=12

Then I can call a "MoveObject" command that works on both camera and player classes. That was basically just a case of inheritance.

However, I think formal derivative types are a waste of time. I also think integer bank handles are a lot nicer to pass around than special type variables that only work in Blitz.
