Refactoring

A note on refactoring- I feel confident now I can code, that I can make a game. But I am not a programmer like where I do my own tax usually by I am not a tax accountant. I use excel and home made spreadsheets and the tax accountant will go “uhuh. Let’s group all these things together.” I have so many redundant methods and variables. It works, but it’s dog ugly and in the long term it makes things run slow. For this practice, I am fine, and i’m getting better, and sure I would like to pivot my career more into this because it excites me, but that is not a why. I believe my tools can almost serve the purposes of this project, and so I must start to actually focus on giving this purpose. As a forewarning, I expect these posts to get less about what i’m learning and more existential. I have to push myself to step out of my safe zone here and actually have an artistic position. It’s now the time I need to start considering talent for the pieces. I need to kill the self and build a platform to serve the subject as truthful as possible. Curation will be the artistry here, not storytelling, not accounting, not programming.
