Whether to or not to OO

Gentlemen,
Using conventional C I've made several simple games so far. My first projects were not sophisticated so C did relatively well on that as I was working on my own and didn't really require reusability of the code I've written as... |

I need to calculate time spent on some activity.
Let's say the activity started at 2 o'clock PM and finished at 4 o'clock PM. This case is easy:

3d game

Cool little game. I've seen your previous release. It's good to see you progressing!
