hard coded arrays are much faster and what do you thing the C++ objects
are made of?

Compile time options are good things, and if you really want to change
something to run time options, that doesn't require the use of C++ with
its huge overhead and ever changing syntax.  In fact, C++ delvelopers
don't even all work in the same syntaxically universe as MS users
develope routinely with methods and syntax that don't exist in Unix.
