why gentoomen hate OOP so much? lets say you're writing

By not wasting your time on childrens games.

Because OOP is too intuitive, easy, functional and useful.

Define an enemy as a function on the game state which returns the enemy's state. Generate the function calls with dynamically with self generating code

There are some things that are a natural fit for OOP. (A classic example is GUI widget toolkits). The problem is that there are other things that aren't really a good fit for OOP at all, but languages that are OOP-centric and programmers raised on them try to force an object hierarchy onto everything. The result is a giant clusterfuck of bad abstractions.

You can certainly write game engines without OOP. Have a look at the Quake 3 engine (which is now free software, btw). It's all written in C. You can also write OO code without an OO language. In C a dead giveaway for that is when you see structures full of function pointers.
