Video description:

How can you create a class hierarchy in a language that doesn’t have classes? The Go (Golang) language doesn’t have classes and doesn’t do inheritance so when I tried to write an adventure game in Go, it looked as though I wouldn’t be able to get very far.
I’ve previously written adventure game sin object oriented languages such as Java and C#. In those languages I can create class hierarchies in which one class (say a Room) inherits the features of another class (say Thing) and adds on any new features. Go doesn’t let me do that……or does it?
In this video, I show how I created a ‘class hierarchy’ in Go even though it doesn’t have classes and so, in principle, it shouldn’t be possible to create a class hierarchy.
