Why Night Scenes in Video Games are so Hard to Make Right?

Blender DumbassUntil yesterday I thought that street lights was impossible to make, so I was trying to find some kind of other ways to brighten up the frame at night, so at least it would be visible, but yesterday I stumbled upon something that might work.
The Spaghetti Code Of Dani's Race
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/thumbs/spaghetti_dani.png)
Blender DumbassSpaghetti code! The insidious thing that often happens even to the best of us. No wander that it happened to me. When programming you want to break your code into functions that could be called from many other places. Doing everything as one large function is a problem, because sometimes you might want to do the same operation or the same check, or whatever, again in another place, and that will require you to copy paste large chunks of code. And if suddenly you decide to change something about those checks, or functions, you have to change that something in all those places one after another. Dani's Race my game, has a bit of a Spaghetti code problem.
The Challenge of Writing NPC Characters for Games
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/thumbs/npcs_stupid.png)
Blender DumbassI'm developing a game called Dani's Race, which is supposed to be a GTA clone. A game where you can run around a city and cause all kinds of mayhem. And a humongous part of the experience of such a sandbox world simulator are the reactions from the in-game non-playable characters. If you steal a car, what will be the reaction of the driver? What will the police in the game do? What will other drivers do if you hit them on the road? All of this is a part of my daily problem-solving when working on Dani's Race.
So I Cleaned Up Some Spaghetti from Dani's Race Code

Blender DumbassA few days ago I had told you that I'm stopping with making the police station in my game Dani's Race because it had a Spaghetti Code Problem. The
main() function in the Main_Update.py file was 1683 lines of code long and contained way too many things in it. At the moment, the same function is down to 641 lines of code. This is still way too much stuff in the main() but this is a hell of a lot of reduction.
