Cleaning the Big Picture: Creating Maintainable Mobile Games in Haskell

Please log in to watch this conference skillscast.

Creation and maintenance gets easier when we can focus on:

• A small amount of game-specific differences when handling a specific game.
• The commonalities of all games when handling many or all games.

In the last two years, while creating mobile games in Haskell for Android and iOS at Keera Studios, Christina has used, improved and created structures and methodologies which help to focus on the given programming task at hand. In fact, the most important and effective part of her daily work of creating easy maintainable games is stepping back, 'cleaning' the code of our apps by introducing these structures and methodologies.

In this talk, Christina will use interactive examples to show the effects of frequent code 'cleaning', like:

• Simplification of the code.
• Minimization of app specific code through the use of existing and new libraries.
• Facilitation of bug hunting.
• Increase of comprehensibility, usability, reliability and persistence.
• Facilitation of participation.
By sharing these experiences, Christina wants to provide you with techniques that help to improve the maintainability of your work and she will hopefully can make it obvious that the short term tedious task of stepping back and 'cleaning' code is a very powerful tool to be more effective in the long term.
