The trouble with the 'get something working, then clean and refactor' is often, the clean-and-refactor gets deprioritised in favour of more features. You get much closer to 85%/90% relevancy in your changes and thinking.

You only spend your effort on the real thing in front of you, not the nebulous fog of all possibility.

You can spend your whole week / month / feedback cycle time actually seeing if your original idea was worth it or if it was not going to work in the first place.

You have ideas, and (assuming you are using good version control) can test them with your real code without needing to work out if it's representative - because you're using the real thing.You get something working immediately.If you try to build an immediately working ,

Your time gets split between 'what works for all scenarios' when that code might only ever get used for about 10-15% of those scenarios in the end.You only then know if you had something that works or is satisfying!.You try to glue everything together at the end of a week / month and have to fill in gaps where your models didn't match reality.You have ideas and can test them, but not immediately and not in context, so you spend time trying to work out if it's consistent / representative.you spend a ton of time working out what it should be.If you try to build the perfect from day 1. To unpack this into what I understand better.

I'm going to ignore framerate and optimisations like preventing garbage from being generated and build something in the absolute quickest way possible to get something playable.Дoes anyone have any insights on this? am I going to get stuck further down the line especially when there are more things going on onscreen (it reveals a kin to Paperclips game)? I've been doing software dev for an eternity but am a hobbyist at game dev.

To get out of this paralysis of progress, I've now decided to rewrite with a focus on using JavaScript timers and UI click events to drive the game, have a single state and update it as things occur (like $2/s will update the state every second which in turn will trigger a UI update). I felt that whilst I could have responded to click events and modified the entities directly, the correct thing to do was to feed them into the gameloop as input and feeding the state from the entities into the UI framework at the end of the loop cycle.ДЄnyway, this is becoming a long story so my point is that I was getting seriously bogged down with perf and the 'correct' way to write performant game code (inspired mainly from Game Programming Patterns by Bob Nystrom). At the back of mind is to just get something out there but at the front of my mind is that rubbish game code is not ok and neither is a complete rewrite because of lack of foresight.ДЇirst, I mocked out my UI (it's browser based), then I applied it to my go-to react-style framework however at that point I felt it was only proper to detach the gameloop/entities/game services (custom made from a previous game effort) and bridge between the two each frame. I've been working on an incremental game and found myself getting stuck on performance tweaks.
