What is your code like?
« on: November 07, 2010, 10:04:04 pm »
My code is like a rusted old boat:

It'll use outdated parts, have half a dozen leaks you won't find for three months, and make you cringe every time you look at it. But, it'll function and if you work with it, it will outlast those newfangled speed boats.

illogical. in java, i made an Int class with 1 instance variable: int Int. i broke at least a dozen coding conventions, because at the moment, it was easier.

My code is like Windows XP.  It has some features that never get used, and it's not as optimized as a Mac, and yet it's powerful, fast and small as opposed to Vista

and a small addendum:

as illogical as it is, it's very flexible. you can reuse it often.

My code only has rudimentary optimizations. I learned TI-BASIC only from the 83+ guidebook that had a chapter on programming, back when I had limited computer access to access tutorials.

Besides that, if I do a sequel of one of my game, I will re-use a lot of old code and modify it.

Also my code is not well organized. Many people said it was hard to read.

I can't read anybody's code without a lot of effort, because I have no idea whats going on in their minds when they wrote it.  ;)

My code is iffy (;D).  It has a lot of If-then statements where it could be optimized better.

My code is spaced out:

I usually use a ton of newlines when writing programs, even when i am on the computer where i have indenting.

My code is different:

I usually use whatever method i can think of to write a program, possibly bypassing normal standards or conventions in the way

My code is hard to read:

Even i have trouble going back and figuring out what variables mx,my,a,ab,ac,ad.... were for XD

My code is like my namesake computer: It gives me results I don't understand and yet explain nothing. No comments, no debug messages, nothing.

My code is unorganized with remnants of previous ideas and addings lost in the multitude of other stuff, probably has some comments from when I tried to figure out where the stupid End that's causing the ERR:BLOCK is, subroutines named for acronyms long forgotten (SF is enemy editing...?), and occasionally has some random If A=1:1→A:End or something completely odd like that when I tried to modify the same loop so many times that it got to the point that the loop runs about 30% the speed it should run at.  My code is in such a way that when people try to optimize it people are completely confused at how the thing actually works and what does what.  My code also recycles some old things I thought made sense when I started coding ("don't use a Line( , use a For( loop instead!")
Thankfully, my new code is better in most aspects now, but I look at my old code and wonder...What was I thinking?

My code is

Never optimized
Readable
Very commented
Planned out (even in the comments! As in, "battle engine goes here)
Always works
unfinished

I'm kinda OCD about my code. It's bug free or it's not finished. I'm not usually very motivated though :P

Heh, that reminds me of my first time using HTML/CSS. I tried to keep everything on a single line x.x Suicide.

My code is

easy to read
indented Allman style (as it is the default in MS Visual Studio)
really optimized (if possible) (makes long unreadable lines)
not commented a lot (unless it's old code or placeholders)
have weird variable names sometimes (Var, Var2, x, y, value, or lots of similarly named variables).
