Using iminib3d has a few consequences for me, the most interesting of which is that I will be programming in C++ for the first time. Now, learning C++ while working on a game is not as big a deal as it might sound at first, since I am already quite proficient at programming in a variety of object-oriented languages. I just happened to have never needed C++ before, so it's been interesting to see how features I'm familiar with in other languages relate to this language that most people consider the most fundamental in modern computing.
