Sometimes, the elegant implementation is just a function. Not a method. Not a class. Not a framework. Just a function.
John CarmackHonestly, I spend very little time thinking about past events, and I certainly don't have them ranked in any way. I look back and think that I have done a lot of good work over the years, but I am much more excited about what the future holds.
John CarmackThe Escalation programmers come from a completely different background, and the codebase is all STL this, boost that, fill-up-the-property list, dispatch the event, and delegate that. I had been harboring some suspicions that our big codebases might benefit from the application of some more of the various โmodernโ C++ design patterns, despite seeing other large game codebases suffer under them. I have since recanted that suspicion.
