There are so many open field lololol... No wonder I can make it better and better every day lolololol...
Tomorrow I have to care about Bro Bang - A few minutes ago I discovered a big camera bug when interacting with the Zombie + a further bug that some lights seem to don't reset before a new round. But it is to late for my head to dig into the code...
Thank you for your feedback! Kind of my fuel!
Yeah, when you have thousands of line of code, figuring out snippets seems a bit tedious. Do you use debuggers to play pause and see what every line does?
[@PowerPaul:] I am not exactly sure what you mean with "EVERY line of code". My tactic is to keep the code human readable. Naming stuff obvious, integrating comments and logs which I can toggle to see until where or how the command chain runs. With the logs I can see pretty good until which line the code runs, what got triggered and so on. So with this I don't see the progress of every line, but pretty good which parts got triggered or until where - depending where I integrate me log messages. Is this the answer you looked for? But unrelated to this logging, it is still a big bunch of code... And unrelated of how good I name all things, there is always something I have to remember/search when I get back to this or that part of code. Especially something which is related to or depending on.
Some days ago someone asked/said something like: "I don't understand anything about coding or game making, but I mean Bro Bang is a simple thing and ..." that's the point where I need a second to get back to traction within the dialogue lol. Bro Bang looks like a small game, but there are many things, very compressed into a small space. For example in the main game no car, boat or airplane in combination with the racing obstacles/water/air/whatever (which looks bigger) uses this much code than this Bro Bang machine & related stuff... So there is really a lot of things/code, compressed in this obvious small space in Bro Bang, yes. I don't have 50 games to compare, but when I compare it with the main game or other small things I did for me in the past, Bro bang is pretty much packed...
I understand your working technicality now. I had been talking about debugger of vscode, where user can play pause and mark the line where the code stops running further.
But, yes you must have logs and libraries tailored to easily handle the game assets and codes, such as we do in object oriented programming.
Take care bro and have a wonderful Friday.
Okay... to be honest: I really don't know exactly what we are talking about here. I have to check & test it in the next session. Could be a good tool.
You, too, Hive a great day! Don't miss to enter the Bro bang rankings! ;-)
You need to download vscode and relevant programming languages and then it also prompts you to what language you want are using and suggests some apps as well to work around any code you want to debug.
Give it a try you'll thank me later. hehe 😁
[@PowerPaul:] I hope I will find the time for a best practice vid on Sunday. Tools are very awesome! I love tools! Without tools and all this little helpers, CCCEO wouldn't exist...
