Stylistic choices

I tend to prefer to use namespaces filled with constants, rather than using enums in most cases. For example using

namespace Element {
const uint8_t No_Element = 0;
const uint8_t Air = 1;
const uint8_t Water = 2;
const uint8_t Earth = 3;
const uint8_t Fire = 4;
};

instead of


enum Element {
No_Element, Air, Water, Earth, Fire
};

Is this bad practice?

I never use #undef actually(only in extremely limited instances where the #define controls a global setting)
 because i can use namespace in the name
#define ELEMENTS_EARTH 1
See the above is just like your namespace without any bloat
