Honestly, when I was a newbie, the simplistic examples drove me crazy because I didn't get the point. I can solve the toy problem effectively with concepts already introduced (functions) why am I burdening my code and my brain with all this new overhead? The OP's suggestion to use a GUI interface is much better. GUI objects like windows are a common and interesting subject. Ironically, Object Oriented features in languages like Java and C# made a lot more sense to me after writing a Win32 gui app in straight C.
