rajkd1658y@paralegalseagul that was cool probably in nineties. Now it just horror and frustration for the next guy. -
that's nothing, we have a legacy code written by a "genius" - one class 10k lines of code, methods with over 800 lines each and he's proud saying "what? it's easier. everything is in one place" xD

In my first year of Computer Engineering, we had to create pong using Java and a game engine they gave us.
So naturally I took it a step further and recreated the original Super Mario Bros.
The code to draw Mario was 1000 lines long. I miss those days when I did things like spaghetti code and didn't think anything of it.
Now I get anxiety if I have a C file with more than 200 lines non-commented.
OH!
That reminds me: In a later course I had to recreate qbert in assembly code, using ASCII codes. Ended up with nearly 20000 lines of assembly instructions (one instruction per line)

The horror when you see a 3000 line Java class - services, daos, tasks - everything in one file.
