I once made a random music player that I knew had plenty of flaws, but it still worked.T'was 4 months ago since I last coded (yes im very very lazy) and today I decided to re-make it. I sucsessfully shortend the code to about 1/2 its original size. I think in doing that I learned a thing or two. But what I wanna know is, did I do a good job remaking, and if not, what can I do to improve?

original(343 lines):


Remake(173 lines):


what do you think?

Well, I don't quite understand why the

and


Since

and

would do just the same.

And finally, you might want to use the keyword "else" more. But that's probably just more for readability.

Else than that, you did a good job remaking the original. I'm stunned how you actually got the patience to write all percents lol...

You should be able to use something like this instead of manually typing all the LOAD MUSIC lines at the top:



--edit--

Sorry apparently I was looking at your old code, you are doing this in your new snippit. Please disregard!

You could probably just do x * (100.0 / 71)

Note: Notice instead of 100 I wrote 100.0; that is because dividing an integer by an integer will result in an integer, so you might have got 1.5, whereas having one of the operands as a float will make the result a float.
