"Smarter, more evolved." Polymorphism; Save Scumming

from Nice Games Club - a gamedev podcast! · host Lydia, Stephen, and Mark

In this week's episode, Mark teaches us to cast polymorph, a 4th level transmutation spell. Just kidding! But Mark does put his high INT score to work helping us understand polymorphism, a useful feature of object-oriented programming. Later on, Stephen talks about the pattern of "save scumming" and considers how it might influence how designers create games.
