Refactoring an Undergrad Game

Updated: Jan 23, 2020

I was going through my old Unity projects to clear up some disk space when I came across The Last Laser Master, a game I'd made for my second game design class in undergrad two years ago. This is a top-down stealth shooter that I was particularly proud of at the time. My programming skills were sad and my approach to software design was misguided (to put it kindly), but it's something I put together that could be considered a game rather than a tech demo.


Instead of deleting it in disgust-which was a tempting prospect-I decided it'd be a good exercise to bring it up to snuff. I'd see if I could apply what the programming design patterns I've learned between then and now and make it less embarrassing to look at. I'll be writing what I'm doing in a way that my past-self (or a future undergrad) can follow along and understand why I'm making the changes I'm making. As I go along, I'll update this blog entry to have chapters, so anybody going into this will have an idea of what they'll be getting into. So let's get on with it
