Did a count, up to 22,616, hopefully done in a year or so, maybe around 30k?

I seem to be bad at estimating the future, because now I'm up to 37,883, and I'm certainly not done yet, but hopefully in another year or so 😉

Wow. I just counted the thing I'm doing which is 4 different 30 minute loops of animation and got 15,000. But! no comments. Aren't you doing a kind of retro-ish game? It should be back in style just in time for your finishing. 😄

Yeah, no kidding!

3 line function if appropriate. Not longer than a screen if possible. But the bottom line is - it should only do One thing, and be well named.

Not that I mind the _write a function as long as is necessary and put comments in; it's okay you can hold it in your head_ philosophy. at least 300k of work over the last 20 years was fixing the abysmal mess that results from that. Knock yourselves out and keep piling those functions up! 🙂

Good luck animating something with that approach.

Hear, hear!

I have about 1200 Functions, so I guess that's about an average of 30 lines each. But really the normal Function is smaller (like around 10-15 lines most commonly), it's just that some are very long such as having big lists.

I suspect I'd enjoy working with you then! It'd take well named functions I can read, understand, reason about and easily re-orchestrate over a whopping multi-screen-couple-mess any day of the week
