Game Dev Podcast | Coffee with Butterscotch

This week, we talk book recommendations, sharpening your skills, and code readability. When naming variables, you might need to use more words to increase clarity and enhance understanding, even though unusually long variable names will feel weird at first. When you’ve got a complex design pattern, straightforwardness will often guide you to the solution.
