god i love the voice acting and writing and frank and lamar from GTAV a lot and even driving/piloting is really enjoyable. the radio stations are unbelievably good (shoutout to Soulwax FM) and the first person camera is pretty immersive. so all that to say yeah i replayed it recently too and the missions suck rear end, the gameplay and gunplay sucks rear end, you die real loving fast and theres barely any cheat codes

It is, I remember first time I played it I was loving around being a mountain man and at one point Bill Williamson rides up out of the blue going "Holy poo poo Arthur we thought you were dead, took me forever to track you down, the gang's worried". Just rode down from the mountain to Horseshoe Overlook which is where the game opens up and yeah god drat I remembered this game is beautiful but it's hard to keep in your mind just how beautiful.

To be fair the bigger the source code the bigger gain there is in using a switch instead of if/else and also switch is easier to read, but unless it compromises performance badly who cares. Reminds me of a classmate at university who made an entire class project using if/else just because he could.

I said come in! posted:I don't understand what any of this means. in game engines like unity, an interactive game element like a card or a piece of equipment is normally stored as its own separate asset that you edit via an interface, which makes it easy to keep track of them and edit them on the fly and makes the game run more efficiently, because all of its game logic (what the card/item/whatever is supposed to do) is contained in that asset. in this case, the balatro devs have hardcoded every single card so that the game first has to check to see what the card's name is and then tell the game what to do based off of that name to put it into human terms, it'd be like going to the grocery store's fruit section and seeing all your favorite fruits laid out nicely versus going to the grocery store's fruit section to see that all the fruits are hidden inside individual wooden chests that you need to open to see what's inside RBA Starblade posted:The what it's mostly died out now, but there was a brief period where multiple people were making feature length youtube videos combing through yandere simulator's codebase to point out things like 1000 line if/else logic chains and other first year programming "don't do this" oddities Vermain fucked around with this message at 17:42 on Apr 23, 2024 |

Yeah that code is going to force an awful lot of unnecessary work if it ever happens that: -you have to fix a bug -you want to add a new capability that wasn't anticipated beforehand -someone else joins the project A different grocery store analogy would be that rather than having aisles like "produce", "cereal", "baking", etc, your grocery store has unlabeled aisles and each one contains a random selection of items. you *could* shop there if you had already memorized where everything is. but if you want to buy something you have never bought before, good luck

wizard2 posted:are there people legitimately annoyed at the Balatro guy's success over the silly code or is it merely "heh! good for him!" there's a couple weirdos doing the usual "Don't. Do. This" kind of replies, but i think most experienced programmers understand that it's A) an indie dev doing their first project who managed to get it out the door, and B) still extremely commendable due to the sheer volume of work you have to do hardcoding all that

Keep in mind it was stuff like changing (if variable==false) to (!variable), which are literally the same.
