The Dink Network

To be Truthful i am very surprised by the response speed for something that is so, hmm outdated, that's not quite the word i want. ... i have been looking at the dink main story and messing with it because of this bug, and i notice it looks very C plus plus, or C in style. would there perhaps be a way or already is a way, to use dink to teach cpp basics, to kids and adults? just a thought ..
