i guess its also important to note that because of the nature of this game (minigame collection) there is an inherent varying degree of complexity for every scenario which makes this a more difficult problem....... but i'll definitely be more mindful of these issues when i make the 2 follow-up........

That works out in its favour I think, because the decoupling of objects makes them more extendable and interchangeable, meaning you can reuse and expand on existing stuff. You could end up with your own versatile framework for your minigames.

I will stop taking over your thread with programmy stuff now and return to the shadows

I'm still trying to work out which programming patterns are the right ones to follow.  Sometimes abstraction is good (make code work anywhere!), sometimes it's bad (unnecessary complexity!).  Sometimes code reuse is good (proven edge cases!), sometimes it's bad (dependencies!).  It seems to largely be a game of choosing between pros/cons as you go.  Strict adherence to any pattern seems just as dangerous as following none.

This seems especially true in Java/OOP land, for whatever reason.

Pretty much ya. They stand as general guidelines to be mindful of to keep your code in a fit state, and as a way to think of solutions to existing technical debt. Imposing a fascist regime of code approval isn't really productive.

I think I see the clever metaphor you're going for here.

i made a survey that u can fill out at the end of the game to report your fave and least fave minigames lol........... ive yet to get the backend implementation working but it will probably just be the same system that live forever uses to insert entries to a mysql table on my server

i built my dumbass table and wrote the php script that the game will communicate with to modify the table...... also i kind of just recorded some noises and pitched them weirdly to produce all the survey navigation sounds and i'll probably do something similar to make some "ambient" music

My opinion on programming patterns is that they usually point to some fundamental failing in the programming language itself and its ability to express something. If you can keep in mind what the pattern is trying to fix then it's helpful. But yeah, there's no silver bullet to code design. In fact, I think code design (especially for larger projects) is probably the hardest part of actually programming.

i mean i wouldnt say this particular case is "hard" but it's definitely "hard to do perfectly".......

Interesting point, though I'm sure it can be applied everywhere.  Take Python for instance.  Arguably one of the better designed languages, yet has plenty of code standards as PEPs or similar.  Even so much that the concept exists of "pythonic" code.  There's generally a "correct" way to do any one thing.

Contrast that to PHP which has a million ways of completing any one task and the standards are few and far between.
