    You were right. It works

    Next step? Create a interface which enables creating objects by File I/O?
    Create a CLI to user interface?
    Jump to GUI? Which GUI, QT, GTK ?

    That's up to you. Whatever you choose, it's going to be tough.

    I don't know how tough can be and which is the best way.
    Probably doing CLI it is a waste of time. GUI will use the same "tough" principles.
    However, which is the best GUI to start with C++. QT is cross-plataform, MFC has lots of help, GTK is opensource.

    There is no "best." Everything has advantages and disadvantages.
    Anywho, QT is very popular and works, has WYSIWYG, has lots of functionality, not just GUI. Disadvantage is that it's old, reinvents a lot of stuff and at times does not play well with the standard library.
    MFC is not free, restricted to Windows, old, missing functionality, poor layout tools, does not play well with the standard library at all.
    GTK is, if I'm not mistaken, C, which is a big drawback.

    I'd just recommend Qt because I don't know anything better. Qt is open source too.
