Got a new contract at the end of the year, company wanting a Process Model flowcharting thingy with simulation of process actions, decisions etc (based on BPMN V2.0 if any one is interested). Previous developer was apparently a gamer, he tried to write something in Unity. I am trying to go over his code, and have been thinking - "Why did he choose Unity - a gaming engine- for a business process tool?" The guy is apparently in his late 20s, so my thought was - maybe that is all he knows?
Can anyone come up with a reason to write a LOB tool in a gaming engine? ( He did not get to far, this contract is going to run at least a year I think).

You probably hit it right on the head.
Unity allows you to write C# code/scripts for your games, so he thinks he's a programmer. That's all he knows. Probably has zero experience with anything outside of Unity.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
Ya can't fix stupid.

Yes, my research has found several starting points in Github etc. They all having missing pieces, but they make for a good starting point.

So the next obvious question is, who approved of that and gave him the go-ahead?

Is it a list if there's only one item?

It's a list if there are no items!
List<MyClass> myList = new List<MyClass>();
return myList;

You know putting "ignore" in the title has the total opposite effect.
In fact it was the first post I opened
|
|

|
|
Perhaps I should say "please ignore"?

For last 7 years, our company's open stack teams had been using different IDEs. Right from Eclipse to Notepad++, (Truly so many of them). The environment used to sound very alien.
Now in couple of years, one by one, all them have moved to Visual Studio Code. Is this not awesome?
The whole of them - including Php, Node, Python. All using this now. & they seem to like it much.
It's definitely helping to relate/connect better. It doesn't give you the "alien" feeling now.
(But VS Code, as such was feeling alien to me , just got used to it well )
Full Reset

yeah, recently read it's now more famous than Visual Studio itself
