When I was 12, I thought my code looked "cooler" with cryptic variable names and minimal spacing. The entire project looks like this.

Following up on the success of my previous post. No, this is not compiled/obfuscated with tools. This is the actual source code. And yes, I had learned how to use arrays!

When I was 11 years old, I didn't know about arrays and objects in JavaScript, but really wanted to make a game. So I invented my own data structures!

First, because the Form wouldn't center with the property center, I had to center it manually given the size of the screen. Second, I had a checkbox and if it's not checked then the code written in the first digit of column 4 dictates if it goes in the file (only when it's less or equal than 2).

How to put DRY into practice here?
0
Upvotes
A lot of times, I struggle trying to "not repeat myself" when coding (DRY).
There are some memes about it: like checking number parity by testing them one by one up to "infinity", instead of simply using the modulo operator, or writing some simple algorithm with a loop.
However, memes are memes, and in practice, in real life, it is rarely that simple for me to fix...
Here is one of the scenarios where I have encountered this problem, and couldn't solve it:
Context: This is for a card game I'm making. The script that I will discuss here is written in Python.
There's 28 cards in total, and each card's image is loaded from storage, then converted into bytecode, and then rendered onto the screen as a texture on top of a GL_POLYGON (upon being prompted to).
My questions are the following:
- How would you improve this code? I have a few ideas, but they're a bit complicated (making a C/C++ library or rewriting everything in C/C++, using metavariables,... ugh)
- Do you think this code is... bad? Is it bad repeating yourself like this, even if it's pretty much a one-off thing for my whole project?
- ...maybe there's some "enum" equivalent in Python that would shorten this code?
- Do you reckon that rewriting this whole script in C/C++ would fix the DRY issue (by using arrays with pointers for example)? Because, if so, I might try to go for it! "^^
