This is also called YAGNI - Ya Ain't Gonna Need It. Don't go too extreme with it, but Premature Generalization is a big disease in SWeng.

I completely agree with this. Solve the problems you ACTUALLY HAVE. Not some imaginary future stuff.

How long ago was this said? Should definitely have code that's reusable.

Dang right. If I made SSS3 now I could start again and do it much better and faster. #SSS2 #SSS3 #IndieDev #IndieGame

Don't really agree, if you don't write reusable code you are silly.

That said, make code modular, expandable, and reusable. That way you can reuse it and clean up and improve it piece by piece vs redoing it.

My experience shows that the code should be reusable as much as possible. If done correctly, it would greatly reduce total amount of work.

:o your are right. looking at how i made my 1st game and my current one i was dumb back then! something that took a line of code i did wth 7

This applies to complex modules, but I love my library of statics. Firmly separate the two, and bring the latter along between projects.
