Sometimes it just escalates, doesn't it? I can already see some parts in my project I'll need to refactor or even redo at some point 😬

It truly does! I started off wanting to add more UI polish (transitions, animations, etc.) and have ended up basically gutting all the UI code I had before in support of that goal. Would that I could go back in time...

It's part of developing software, honestly and unfortunately.
Nowadays, I don't try to avoid that part, but more to embrace it - writing code with the goal to be able to change it, not with the goal to adhere to some pre-defined structure, and that usually works quite well 😅

Yeah, this is all true!

Part of what I'm doing is migrating from Unity's UGUI to UI Toolkit. UI Toolkit wasn't mature enough to use when I started this project 3 years ago, and it was impossible to know that it would be ready before I was done with the UI, so this kind of thing is inevitable! 😅
