That code will also be a better fit to squeeze into my gmplay code, and lets me control the sound paramaters where I can see and control them in a way that suits my style.
I could swear that some of those "spacey" coding styles were made for people who get paid for number of lines of code delivered, not for performance or functionality. The experts can pack more functions into less code, so LOC (Lines Of Code) is not really a valid productivity measurement anyway. And it is so easy to run though a reformatter for others, so I feel no guilt publishing it the way I like to use it.
I really DO understand condensed code much faster and better than "formatted" code. Even just to study other peoples code, I condense it just so I can understand it better. I look for "functional patterns" in it, which I cannot see when I have to page through it. |
I have been on both side of the camps, and frankly I see the value in both.
Just not for everyone. Providing for everyone sometimes takes a bit of bending in the wind, I enjoy the breeze
I quite frankly am pissing-in my pants with excitement to see if you beat me to a full in-one A V solution. Spending two hours updating the quality of my docs was not on the plan but that said I don't regret it and I updated the top post which does indeed look a little more heavy weight for the work,
Happy days. Cup of tea for me I think
