Speaking of coding out of spite, is nobody going to mention that his C code features a
structwith over 20 fields in it?Sometimes you can't not have a god class (struct in this case). When doing UI specifically, I always end up with one.
You can try using encapsulation to reduce the amount of fields technically, but in the end it's the same amount of information in a single god class.
That's not uncommon, is it?
Not really, but I'd probably try to organize those into sub structures where it made sense. A data structure holding the UI state and FFT data all flat is kinda messy imo since it becomes unclear what is actually required where.
You can tell there ought to be substructures because he used comments to label the different groups. That's a code smell right there.
Agreed
Yeah that's what I usually do, as long as it's passed by reference there isn't anything too bad here.
It is spite coding though.
He probably has a bunch of gotos too.
That's the
Statestruct. Globally accessible, I'd bet
