I rather stay with the metaphysics:
#include "metaphysics.h"
static metaPower God;
universe *makeUniverse(metaPower God)
{
if (!God) {
printf("Oops, no God available at the moment.Try again later!");
return NULL;
}
universe *everything;
if (!(everything = malloc(sizeof(universe)))) {
God.mood = REALLY_BORED;
printf("God has no time to create a universe.");
return NULL;
} else {
return universe;
}
}
