Yesterday, my wife and I released Mushroom Picnic Party. It has a few color themes, and the b&w one had transparency issue. I mostly tested in pink (I had a good reason ^^), so I didn't notice it. Instead of fixing the bug, I changed the theme black value, shipped the patch, and called it a day ^^

The `++` operator is so problematic, it is missing from many modern languages, like Python or Rust. I also just learned that it was present in Swift, but it was removed at some point, which says something.

Besides, 2 out of 3 examples use `++` operator, which is problematic. It is an expression that modifies it's argument, something that should be avoided. It is hard to read when used outside of a few simple cases. Not to mention it has two forms (pre/post), which yield different results.

I'm not sure about your BMW analogy. Why? I would say that it's more like an old Jeep. It's not the best choice for modern public roads, but if you know how to use it properly, you'll get with it where most other cars won't go.

Our characters are based on real mushroom species. This happy chonky one is a proud Penny Bun (or Boletus Edulis, if youโ€™re into Latin) ๐Ÿ„

Around 700MB, but I load it all at the start for instant loading of levels. Works great on Switch ^^

Steam HW survey says that only 2.1% of users have <8GB of RAM, so I would say that under 2GB for a game is quite safe.

What's the number you're trying to justify? :>
