Nobody would give a shit if he just said
>hey guys I admit my code is not the best but it gets the job done
but he just HAS to pretend he's the smartest person in the room with "20 years of game dev experience" who can make no mistakes. The below-intern level code clashes hard with the image he has been building of himself so people will point it out, he only has himself to blame. The dumbest part about this is that he could've easily pivoted this into some kind of an uplifting speech about how you shouldn't stress about your code quality because the important thing is to just heckin make games which would've been perfectly in line with his "everyone calls me the Bob Ross of coding" narrative.

>>715621313
>>715621771
It's like he saw people clowning on Yandev for his endless if else -messes and the only lesson he took from that was that "you should use switch cases" and then just took that to a retarded extreme because he desperately wanted to avoid being compared to him.

do kiwi farms users really have this little going on in their lives?

i hate this faggot but is this shit just nitpicking at this point? hope this doesn't make amateur game devs afraid to show their creations. i hope we can find something else to dogpile this guy on.

Yeah, the array shit is something I do not get. Does the language he's working in not support associative arrays or at the very least a disgustingly large enum? I also saw that he was initializing hundreds of entries to zero manually even though there is surely some equivalent to calloc() and if not, it would be very easy to write a function that does that.

Why is he even doing all the storylines in code? Wouldn't it be way easier to manager if it were all in a database file?

>>715620915
He has only himself to blame. He could have just said "sorry my bad" and it would have all died down, but he doubled, tripled, quadrupled down on every corner and continues to so.

Also, imagine the poor fuck that buys this game, and for some stupid reason he picked IGGGAMES as his steam name, and his fucking game don't works and he has no idea why.

Is he doing C++ in VS Code?

>>715623473
>nitpicking
for an amateur hobbyist coder it would be, but he considers himself an industry professional so there's nothing wrong with pointing out that his work does not match the standard he markets himself at

>>715623736
Game maker supports data structures, but the tool supporting it doesn't explain his baffling insistence in using arrays.
Its probably all he knows.

He's a veteran blizzard dev and a super government haxxor.

>>715623541
>The man that shit on him makes money grifting and selling services.
I miss when Grifter was just the name for a supposed shock/snuff film that makes you go insane because it's so gruesome. Why the fuck is it "grifting" when someone whose thing has been code reviews and selling a tutoring service the entire time reviews your code this time? That's like calling it grifting when a movie reviewer gives your favorite movie a bad review.

>>715620915
>I think it's sad people are tearing this man down from every possible angle
He's being attacked from every angle because he lied from every angle and people are just pointing out his lies.
Nobody cares that Toby Fox has poor code quality because he doesn't lie about the progress of his game and doesn't lie about credentials to insert himself as an authority on technology.
Even yandev is honest about how amateur his coding skills are, and yandere sim is actually pretty complex since its more of a sandboxy simulation type game so his code turning to spaghetti is more understandable than what is essentially a 2d pixel art walking sim with dialogue and only 2 fights made by someone who claims decades of professional experience.

>>715621603
He is clearly shopped on top of that code, that's not his.
It's supposed to make fun of his mouthbreather coding style I think.

>Fuck fizzbuzz, a job interview should be about testing your problem solving skills, not checking if you're capable of understanding abstract, PhD-level algebra concepts.

>>715624176
Man drops into his livestream where he pretends to be coding and is dropping thr equivalent of

And twists the knife by exposing his dirty laundry, in which Jason immediately tries to lie his way out of. Guy is a pathological liar, he cannot go a day without finding something to lie about.
And to his own fucking dad

>>715622196
>OR ELSE I'LL GIVE YOU ERROR
That's not the issue. Clean code makes it easier to add things to it and expand the project. His indieshit walking simulator has taken 8 years because it's an absolute mess under the hood.

>>715621313
>Do Nothing

My favorite was when he claimed he coded the game like shit on purpose so that the players could play an ARG.

>>715621313
My guess is that this is just a placeholder and he will keep adding more cases/instructions as he see fit, right? Still the gigantic storyline array seems stupid.

>>715623473
This is the Gordon Ramsay grilled cheese moment but instead of being a single fuck-up people found out it's what he ALWAYS does.

>>715620915
All he had to do was not be a complete faggot online.

>>715624405
Its mediocre code but its not literally unworkable.
Hes just fucking lazy. Which is baffling because one of the first thing you learn when you start coding is that you should rarely repeat the same tedious work, instead write a function that does it for you. Yet you have him manually initializing every member of an array one line at a time instead of writing a simple for loop.

what have you actually programmed that has a real world use

>>715624176
>his dad thinks the best moment to bring this up is public on stream, what a family

His coding is bad, but he also makes it even more atrocious on purpose to make it longer, because that makes his NPC viewers think he is a genius.

>>715620771 (OP)
i hope he kills himself and post it for everyone to see it

I have a question, coming from the perspective of someone who doesn't know shit about coding.

How bads are his fuck-ups really? Are these some small optimisation errors and the criticism is just hyperbolic sperging, or is he a complete retard who's shitting out spaghetti code?

>>715624826
Maybe he could just stop cock-riding Heroin of Wastedyourlifeawaycraft and blizzard.

>>715624745
I'm not a programmer, in an artisan. Nothing I make has objective value

>>715624897
He's on the level of "Yeah a car has 4 wheels, a transmission, an axle, a steering rack and column, an intake manifold and a master cylinder, I know a lot about cars and you just need to reserach it yourself chat"

>Crashes his car into a highway lane divider 5 minutes later

>Apparently putting comments is a bad thing
I could never be a coder, I have a need to be as thorough as possible.

>>715625534
That's not the issue

>>715624897
fellow codelet here, as far as i understand his code is beginner tier hog shit but it shouldn't really matter performance-wise because it's a 2d pixelshit walking simulator at the end of the day
it mostly matters because he does things in very inefficient ways which definitely won't help him release his trash in a timely fashion (that ship has sailed a long time ago anyway) and more importantly because he will wither and die if he spends more than 3 minutes inhaling anything that isn't his own farts
when you constantly act like you're hot shit you shouldn't be surprised if people watch everything you do and annihilate you the second you show even a shred of incompetence

>>715625534
The problem here isn't the comments. It's needlessly using a switch case when he could have used an if statement

>>715623034
I'm a bit retarded, but if for some god forsaken reason you scale up to something like 100+, would you still basically create a 100 item enum set for readability whenever you are to use it?
What if the actual cases have readable context?
I'm assuming the real answer is to not use a switch case at this point.

>>715625653
You can declare stuff to only be relevant for that scope. The moment you realize you're going to use it a bunch you can push it to a function or if theyre super important you can make them constants with a global scope.

>>715623473
Amateur game devs have nothing to fear unless that want to claim “20 years industry experience. 7 years at Blizzard. 2 defcon badges”

>>715622554

Doesn't this faggot have like 6k viewers daily on twitch, how did he con so many retards? He's laughing all the way back to the bank with those numbers

>>715624897
Most of the problems in his code are more about maintainability rather than efficiency.
So its less about his code being slow (though there is stuff like that, his weird lighting system for example) and more about his code being a pain in the ass if you ever need to go back and change things. So a small bug fix that would typically be just a couple lines of code changed may end up ballooning into a change that requires hundreds of lines to be manually updated.

>>715625942
No. This was done for a joke between programmers. No one is actually retarded enough to do that in any serious capacity.

>>715625942
It's a common practice among banking systems.

>>715624745
Is that the ferret he raped?

>>715623736
He claims it makes it easier to hack for an ARG and will be a teaching exercise for his slush-brained fans

>>715620915
hopefully he films it for my entertainment

For me the weirdest thing is, you either know you code like shit and therefore try to hide it as much as possible (I doubt anyone asked him for dev streams), or you don't know you code like shit, and you don't care about oversharing. He's a weird mix in the middle.

>>715624228
Didn’t he even say it was fine because although he didn’t text his dad on his birthday he also didn’t extreme him in the days after that, implying that the birthday is just like any other day?

>ARG

>>715625987
>how did he con so many retards?
Anon, they're retards. He uses the same tactics that public speakers and politicians use when talking to idiots: appear to be smart, use big words, never show weakness, refuse to answer to people who aren't retarded by talking louder and deflecting

>>715623420
And now everyone clowns on him because the supposed expert is a worse coder than Yandev himself or first semester CS students lmfao

>>715623736
He claims it's for his ARG but it's actually because he's never even read the words serialization and deserialization.

>>715624745
I programmed a device that detects ferret-rapists. I can’t be certain it works though because I only ever got one positive result

Alternate Reality Game. Basically a puzzle that incorporates real world elements. He expects people to dissect his game for clues.

>>715623473
People saw the code for Balatro, had a quick chuckle, and moved on. People don't care because the game works and he shipped a complete product.
The fag in OP has been developing the game for over 7/8 years. Balatro and Undertale (game he's inspired by) both took about 2 and a half years. So you'd expect someone who's been coding for that long, who also supposedly has an additional 7 years of experience in the industry, to not have intern level of code.

Hes had way too much time to work on it and its still not done. At least when you outsource to India they will finish the job so they can get paid.

>>715625987
Not sure whether you're new to Twitch but small to medium streamers are the best source for echo chambers.
Even if he gets called out for what a retard he is, there will be some people who will double down and defend him, therefore strengthening the loyalty.

It evolves into a "we vs. them" mentality where the streamer is always right and any outsider or critique is not only met negatively by the streamer but all the orbiters in chat.

Best example I know were the most obvious viewbotters under the sun a few years ago but somehow the chat was still filled with active 2-3 year sub chatters who were on the side of the streamer, coping how everyone else is wrong instead.

>>715626242
It's like when Portal added some weird sounds in some areas of the game in an update, and the community had to get together to find them all, how to decode them and what to do afterwards, which led to info on the then upcoming sequel.

>>715626614
Because the challenge was to simulate a battle between groups of units, just like homm3 and that game is popular with programmers for some reason.

No fucking way. You're trolling right now, right? I've been a NEET for 7 months and can still live comfy for another 2.5 years yet these retards blew through millions just like that? When is America declaring bankruptcy already?

>>715626242
ARG itself? Alternate reality game, basically a puzzle that treats something as if it’s in the real world. So like if you’re watching some crime procedural tv show and they have a website where you can put in clues and crack codes and shit to win a DVD box set. ARG.

What does it mean in this context? Fucking nothing. He’s coping. He could code properly and have an ARG. His game doesn’t even need an ARG. His game is 8 years overdue. He claims he’s too busy to work on the game, and then streams 9 hours a day.
More than likely he coded it that way, got feedback that it was bad at some point, couldn’t be bothered or didn’t know how to fix it, so now he tells everyone it’s a feature

Just in case anyone is interested into getting into computing as a job, I'd like to remind you that 99% of your job won't actually be writing code but instead being henpecked by other coders who will always think your way of doing something is shit and there way of something is good. There's no such thing as "good" or "fine" code, only code that is mine (which is perfect) and everyone else's (unmaintainable slow dog shit).

>>715626735
He’s been on “the last 8%” of one chapter of the game for 3 years. The game was due 8 years ago.

>>715626827
There's nothing wrong with it. Just autistic losers who have never shipped a product think it should all be abstracted away into 12 microservices so you can do a complete refactor at a moment's notice

It's completely fine because it gets the job done and is a part of a completed project. If the Balatro dev had been working on the game for 7 years in early access and claimed to be an industry vet, people would be clowning on that code.

Both a bad white programmer and a regular Indian programmer are bad at the job.
But one will let themselves be milked like a lolcow and the other is only "working" until the job is done and will fuck off.
I've had to unfortunately work with jeets in a professional capacity and thats the only quality they have: they are happy to accept subpar salary for their subpar code. Unlike the white guy who wants top dollar but has nothing to back it up.
If it were up to me, I'd never hire either.

Start out with scripting to learn the basics. A game, or really any program, could be described as a very large script that loops itself and has loops inside itself.
Start with something simple like scripting a turn based text combat game if you want to play around in a simple sandbox.
There are plenty of free resources that can help you get started in free engines too.

Holy fuck I’m so clever with my alternative solutions I’m pretty much inventing a new way of coding, lmao these other guys are so stuck in their programming autism they’re not able to pull magic tricks like me

Where did this retard learn to code? This is disgusting, it’s going to destroy your computer. There’s one clear and sensible way to do this, and he just fucked it up with this absolute nonsense. He just be fired and probably jailed

Based, I was bored at work a couple of years ago so I started scripting one of these in PowerShell
Iirc the structure was a giant map with
{
"location" : where you are now,
"comment" : what the game prints out
"left" : {
"comment" : what the game prints when you try to go left
"next_location" : where you go next
}
}
So the whole world was a massive dictionary which pointed to other elements in the dictionary
And hardcoded kill locations or something for when you go the wrong way and get eaten by the monster
It was kind of fun for an afternoon

I have no clue what the context of this code here and I don't really know anything about balatro so I could be wrong about something but it looks like its a giant if else block to get a message value by checking every applicable ability name and hardcoding an associated message and multiplier.
It would be better to have some sort of struct for the abilities that has its name, message, and multiplier so you can just reference it with something like "self.ability.message". You could also include the secondary conditions some have in that object, like the "self.mult > 0".
In all actuality the efficiency difference is beyond negligible, its moreso just painful to imagine the developer writing all this out when they didn't need to.
It could be a problem if you have people on you're team who are designing new cards/abilities but arent programmers bu that might not be a problem depending on their team makeup.
It would've also made modding braindead easy if there was better code/data separation but Ive heard the game has a thriving modding scene so it seems to not be a big deal.

Gamemaker games can be fucking decompiled to exact source code, anybody who cares about security will not make games in Gamemaker or unity.

>>715628656
Try to make a game, realize at some point how miserable to work on some parts of your code are, think to yourself "there must be a better way to do this", google for a better way to do this, find the answer in some stackoverflow thread, then either restart your project from scratch or start a new project with your newfound knowledge, eventually arrive into a similar situation where parts of your code are ass, rinse and repeat.

TLDR it's basically autists and turbo autists dogpiling because they spent $50,000 buying a CS degree

However, Mr Pirate has a whole market and image as being a pro hacker and programmer with AAA game industry experience, and flaunts it constantly, despite clearly not really being experienced.

Toby Fox is a prime example of a game dev who is absolutely terrible at programming (Like, yandev level) but nobody gives him shit because he doesn't brag about his skills, doesn't talk down to his fans, and clearly improves his skills over time (plus people actually like his games)

If you feel like you're repeating yourself, make it a function. Use loops to handle repeating code
Dont inflate your ego, you're still a novice.
You dont need to use the high powered stuff yet while learning, but you should learn to look for a better solution when you realize you've built an agony machine that is a pain to deal with.

>>715624897
Eh. The compiler doesn't care how readable his code his as long as it works, and comments get stripped. Even in terms of readability, if he was very thorough in documenting his code with comments, the issue in working on it isn't nearly as big as if he designed things to describe their function by their name. Using an array to store integers to track progress and control flow is unusual and unwieldy, but since it's unlikely to be called often (several hundred times per frame), it likely doesn't even have a relevant performance impact. The biggest problem as others have stated is that development is likely taking so long because working on this mess likely is kinda frustrating. With everything being dependent on these very "bespoke" solutions, you can't just throw away half your code and rebuild it if it turns out you want to try something different.

>>715627290

I like gamemaker. It’s comfy to make snes style games in. My happiest moment was creating a cutscene system that parsed all scene data from json files. Workflow after that was so incredibly easy…

There's literally nothing wrong with using a switch case there and is more performant than a conditional. Way to out yourself as a bigger retard than the furry.

Maldavius Figtree has a ferret charity and stuffs them in a room in his house. Then when they absolutely wreck the place they move somewhere else.
He also has had a ferret fursona for 2 decades. It's not hard to imagine why people would say he rapes them.

>>715629832
it's unbelievable how he never says "I'm sorry".

writing clean code has two extremes, making your code so shitty and difficult to work with, change, and maintain that you succumb to technical debt and cant ever change significant portions of your game later because the core systems are too interconnected and janky that it would take far too long to make it workable and you might as well start over
there’s always a more elegant or “correct” solution to what you’re trying to do but it needs to be balanced against how much you actually expect to go back and change things
at the other end of the spectrum is writing pre emptive optimizations for edge case situations that will never come up and your game never gets released

>>715630116
It's very believable. His defining lolcow trait is a complete inability to admit any fault.

>>715629651
Readability is the single most important thing in programming. Readable and maintainable code that has bugs or is not performant enough can be worked on, fixed and optimized. Unreadable code that works will need to be thrown away the first time a change needs to be implemented because the cost of working on it is higher than the cost of starting over from scratch.

Any claims that he is being harassed come solely from him and he is a pathological liar.
He literally lied about leaving Off-Brand Games because games he hadn’t worked on were getting review-bombed. The truth was 3 games had like a total of 6 recent reviews, and they weren’t even all negative, let alone anything to do with him. When confronted with this he switched to saying that people were being negative online and that is detrimental to indie games and therefore as good as review bombing.

The man is a total piece of shit liar. If he tells you the sun will come up tomorrow, assume it’s the end of days.
