Improve Code with Iterative and Incremental Development

With iterative and incremental development, you can shake out any potential problems with your code and your game’s design. Adding code in smaller chunks makes it much faster and easier to pinpoint code that’s causing issues.

The phrase, “iterative and incremental development” is a combination of iterative design and the incremental build model. With iterative design, you develop your game using a set of repeated cycles. With the incremental build model, you develop your code in smaller chunks. With each iteration and chunk of code you add, you get closer to your end goal.

For the collectible items, you’ll start with a single, stationary collectible—a gloop drop. Once you get that working, ...
