Hey everybody!
So when I was at the end of LPTHW I sort of kept going on the project and made it bigger, restructured it a couple of times and was trying to implement new technologies I was learning.
So I really feel like I learned a ton from this and thanks so much @zedshaw for the inspiration.
I’d be really happy to get some feedback on it and I already know about a couple of things that I can improve:
-Output messages are not stored in one central place, but all over in different databases and modules. This is also why it’s a bit of an effort for me to implement a “change language” option.
-Using different Databases (PostgreSQL and SQLite) does not really make sense for a rather small project and is probably more confusing. (The reason I did this was basically because I wanted to learn both of these and just needed an outlet to implement it, but probably it’s not so practical)
-There is probably a bunch of cleaning up to do, just going through the modules and checking for things that can be simplified, doing some refactoring here and there, I haven’t really done that yet.
-The HTML and CSS are written pretty ugly and were created more with a Trial & Error approach and not really knowing deeply what it is going on. So I should probably review this and clean it up.
-Probably the worst pain for anyone reading the code. I put right about 0 docstrings and explanations in there. Very sorry… I became aware of this only after there was already so much code that it felt like it would be a huge task. Also should probably put some line seperators and just more things to make it more readable for humans.
So for all the issues that I am not seeing I am very grateful to get Feedback! Also if you have specific advise or agree/disagree with the things that I already stated I am happy to hear about it.
Anything else you would recommend to me based on the code: Libraries that would have been smart to use or any kind of technology that would have helped me; Resources that would be good for me that you can point me to, etc.
Basically I feel that after working on this for quite some time I now need to get my mind off it and work on something else. That’s also the reason why I haven’t fixed any of the things I already mentioned. I can well imagine that in some time I would come back to clean it up and fix all these mistakes, but the reason I am posting is also to get general Feedback on my code and apply this feedback now on other things I am working on. So please let me know about bad habits and general things also!
The github repository is here: https://github.com/leonvdb/david_simulator
And there is a deployed version here: http://www.davidsimulator.com/
Sadly at the moment all the message output is only in German… 
Still all of the commands also work in english, but it’s not actually really playable without reading the code… I hope you can still get something out of the pure code and if there is any questions please let me know. Maybe also someone here speaks German, guten Tag! 
Thanks very much for any Feedback! 
All the best,
Leon
