I’ve looked at some of my most recent code and take a guess at what I thought?
Rubbish!
Magic numbers!
Coupling hell!
Meaningless code!
Empty naming conventions!
Lack of MVC!
Weird logic!
It looks as though I was possessed by a code demon. Unfortunately I can’t use that excuse or I would be lying.
Anyone else been through that phase?
That’s what it’s like EVERY time I look at old code 
Which I hope means that I’m always improving 
The problem is that it isn’t old code. 
I just deleted the entire project.
I can get it up faster starting fresh with actual design thoguht.
never look back, that’s my advice. Once you’ve coded something once and it’s complete - don’t go back to it (perhaps use parts for reference only)
I recently wanted to port one of my games written in GL4Java to JOGL and I ended up writing so many new classes from scratch because the old code was so bad.
You learn, then move on.
This is so true, I’ve been improving my 4k software renderer and so far I’ve got a lot more functionality in about half the space as the old one. That means more room for actual game code.
Experience is good…
;D
Normally my code is even understood and easily moddified by non-programmers(literally).
This should give you a good idea of how damn good my code is but lately I’ve become sloppy and sleep isn’t to blame.
Welcome to the programmers.
Add few other terms and you might reach status of game designer/software engeneer/leader programmer.
