Dark GDK / Is is possible to create a static class that does not need to be initialized?

As of right now in DarkGDK I am using a single tier of functions.

Quote: "
Main
DoStuff
DoMoreStuff
DoThings
"


But I could have sworn that we could make STATIC classes (ones that do not have to be created and are just for organization purposes.

Quote: "
Main
Static Class Stuff
-DoStuff
-DoThings
"


So that we could just call:
Stuff.DoStuff;

Rather than having to initialize to a variable name.
Stuff TheDoMachine;
TheDoMachine.DoStuff;

Am I just crazy or is this possible?

Ventures of the worlds around us are limited only by our imagination.

Yes, they're called static methods. Unfortunately, you can't make it an entire static class per se(like in C#), but you can make a class that consists entirely of static methods.

Fairly good explanation and debate about it here:StackOverflow

You could use a namespace or you could make the constructor private so that you can't instantiate it.
