| The subtle art of code conversion. |
|---|
| Well last night I spent a little time working on the MAP file loader for the Asset Manager program, and I have this to say about Paul’s code, YOU’RE A GIT!! Who in their right mind writes their own “getword” method that swaps the bytes around? Most normal people would use something like:- Return = (short)(getc(file) << 8) + getc(file) NOT:- Value1 = getc(file); Value2 = getc(file); Return (short)(Value1 + (Value2 << 8) WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!!! Added to that is the fact that the LRE compression for the file is just a little odd rather than keeping the whole logic in the one method it’s spread over three methods with a global short for the value you just got, but I think I’ve got most of it sorted.
