Welp, I totally misinterpreted this picture! I thought she had asked him into the shower for a little sexytimes, but she’s on her period and didn’t want to mess up the bed. Dude don’t care, he still went downtown during shark week.

And the program finally completed today! 🎉
It sounds like what you are looking for is a form of an object request broker. Provide the name of a class as a string (or, if the set of desired objects is more constrained, an integer or enum or something similar) and then build an instance based on that key. Generally, all these objects typically inherit from some base class like Object so that the broker can return an Object* and the client can dynamic cast it down to the actual thing. I’ve used a pattern like this in the past that worked pretty well using macro magic to enable classes eligible to be instantiated through the broker (register the key and the class name with the broker). This was pre-C++03, so doubtless there are cleaner and more modern ways to implement such a thing these days.
