A some time ago I made a game which made a bit of profit. I made use of a few clever solutions too. I learned a lot from it's development, but being a simple game, I made a behemoth using over 20 thousands lines of code (yes), which now puts me under a question mark. I made this so maybe people with similar problems can find this post.

Game is a simple idle idea using buildings to depict real life transformations: Gathering wooden logs by Woodcutter's Hut, sawing the logs into planks by Sawmills etc.

I used Android Studio and a bunch of assets for it. Pretty simple. But have a look on a buying houses methods. 16 the same methods but with slight changes in variables.

b_bldwoodcut.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {

        @SuppressLint("ClickableViewAccessibility")

        public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {

            if(event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP){

                b_bldwoodcut_clicked = false;

                BuyWoodcuter();

                return true;

            }else{

                b_bldwoodcut_clicked = true;

            }

            return false;

        }

    });

    b_bldsawmill.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {

        @SuppressLint("ClickableViewAccessibility")

        public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {

            if(event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP){

                b_bldsawmill_clicked = false;

                BuySawmill();

                return true;

            }else{

                b_bldsawmill_clicked = true;

            }

            return false;

        }

    });

...

And so on...

There is also a worker method called once per frame or so:

//sawmill

    if (Math.round(ratioautosawmill * Threshold1) >= quick_trigger_val) {

        //Stuff that happens over 20it/sec

        if (pr_autosawmill >= 1 && sawmills > 0 && logs >= ratioautosawmill * 10 && planks + ratioautosawmill * 10 < storage) {

            swsawmill.setBackground(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.pbquick));

            pr_autosawmill = 0;

            logs = Math.round(logs - ratioautosawmill * 10);

            planks = Math.round(planks + ratioautosawmill * 10);

            //Update resource view

            ResTextUpdater();

        } else if (pr_autosawmill < 1 && sawmills > 0) {

            pr_autosawmill = pr_autosawmill + 0.1 * ProgressWorkerSpeed;

        } else {

            swsawmill.setBackground(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.pbpause));

        }

    } else {

        if (pr_autosawmill >= 1 && sawmills > 0 && logs >= 1 && planks < storage) {

            pr_autosawmill = 0;

            logs--;

            planks++;

            //Update resource view

            ResTextUpdater();

        } else if (pr_autosawmill < 1 && sawmills > 0) {

            pr_autosawmill = pr_autosawmill + ratioautosawmill * ProgressWorkerSpeed;

            swsawmill.setBackground(getResources().getDrawable(progressBars[(int)Math.round(pr_autosawmill * 10)]));

        } else {

            swsawmill.setBackground(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.pbpause));

        }

        if ( sawmills < 1){

            swsawmill.setBackground(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.pberr));

        }

    }

This is only one building in a worker. There is 16 different buildings, so I made 16 copies of literally everything, which made my code stupidly long. I used SQL for save/load but that requires a lot of boilerplate code anyway. Do I really need to make the same code every single time for every single item? It turns coding from fun to nightmare. That said, it took me half a year to make this game, where now I believe could be made with a few weeks tops. What are your thoughts?
