Why do games always have code like this?

Because indie game dev is 90% design and 10% software dev
Nathan Cox
What? No comments?
Brayden Thompson
This is wrong.
Gabriel Stewart
Because games have a lot of menus and selection?
Christopher Reed
There are no comments because it's decompiled code

>Yandere Sim
This is not decompiled code, by the way
Jason Barnes
Show me any decompiled code that looks good.
Oh wait, you can't, because that's asking for the impossible. Decompiled code is the pile of shit that is left after a steak.
Robert Thompson
>stringly typed code
Joshua Perez
how would you do better? make a switch statement?

Use enum classes.
Jaxson Green
Enumerated types would be a start.
Xavier Allen
In fact an enumerated type and a matching string value for the .gameovercause would reduce it to a single expression
Josiah Brooks
even firefox code is cryptic as fuck. no wonder mozilla can't make anything except chrome clones
Ryan Clark
> not using } else if {
That is shitty-ass code. Pic related is how proper programmers handle braces
Evan Johnson
Not just enums as other anons have said, but also putting this shit in text files that get parsed. Then all you have to do is change the text file not refactor that ugly beast. Would also improve the test suite.

Evan Rivera
The absolute state of Wintards.
Xavier Cook
They literally just said that isn't decompiled code.
Gabriel Howard
Enums and switches. Don't listen to that other dumb fuck who thinks that reading in shit from a fucking text file that should be hardcoded is a good idea.
Asher Collins
love this

its generated code. You know things like "generate getters and setters/ extract interface/...." exists in modern ide's?
This code is most likely generated by a tool for game development.

Jesus fuck, it tests weapon, blood and weapon and blood. What a piece of shit.
Austin King
>switches
Tyler Cruz
Kidding aside, that (float)6 is also disturbing.
Alexander Butler
More like a lot of indie devs have no idea how to code, they get into it because they want to make games and learn enough to scrape

It still doesn't justify a massive pile of string comparisons.
Easton Moore
They posted code from Yandere Sim, not Terraria.
Luke James
How dense are you?

I bet you draw anime and want to be a gayme designer
Wyatt Clark
that could be an unrolled loop
yeah that's probably an unrolled loop
fix it and make a pull request
