Thread: New Project, text game, design stage.

I decided that I needed a working Menu class, so I write this bad boy

Code:

#include <list>

class Menu
{
public:
	Menu(std::string mSelection) 
	{
		mSelection = Selection;
	}

	virtual ~Menu() { Destroy(); }

	// deletes self
	void Release() { delete this; }

	// call update on all children
	virtual void Update()
	{
		for( std::list<Menu*>::iterator i = MenuChoices.begin();
			i != MenuChoices.end(); i++ )
		{
			(*i)->Update();
		}
	}

	// recursively destroy all children and self
	void Destroy()
	{
		for( std::list<Menu*>::iterator i = MenuChoices.begin();
			i != MenuChoices.end(); i++ )
		(*i)->Release();
  
		MenuChoices.clear();
	}

	// add a child
	void MenuSelection( Menu* MenuSelection )
	{
		MenuSelection->SetRootMenu(this);
	    MenuChoices.push_back(MenuSelection);
	}

	// Set the parent of the child
	void SetRootMenu(Menu* Root)
	{
		RootMenu = Root;
	}

protected:
	// list of children
	std::list<Menu*> MenuChoices;
	// pointer to parent
	Menu * RootMenu;

	std::string Selection;

};

I'm going to have my interpreter access a list or vector or container of some sort of root menu's, which will lead to submenus, and finally menu selections, etc..
