    If assembly was used for an entire application then it was 50 years ago, before alternative/useful programming languages were mainstream; once C became well-known very few people wrote entire applications in asm anymore, with the typical practice to write the hot spot in asm if necessary. Even rollercoaster tycoon, the game scu linked (and is well known for being completely insane for the amount of asm in it) is partially C.

    That aside, whether or not people used to use a supposedly worse option is completely irrelevant to whether or not something is bad. It's pretty obvious that magic numbers are confusing and make code less readable, and pretty obvious that giving them names is a lot better
    No but it states the relativity of how bad it actually was and to what an appropriate response to seeing it done now, would justify. Both of you just missed my point completely. In a binary system, yes there are two options, one is *logically* better than the other.
    However, if you read my wording I said its not a *bad* option, or one worse enough to justify such response because the gradient of "worse-ness" from the set of possibilities, is only 2.

    If there were 500 options, and they decided to chose the last option on the list ordered by practicality descending, this means would justify a bigger response because the gradient difference is much bigger.
    Also judging from the time of when RS2 was released, the dev team size was 2 (him and his brother). So putting both the gradient factor and the fact that its just plain easier to write 1 instead of "ANIMATION_STANDING_IDLE" and the fact that the dev team was so small and many other factors of how they might not have intended for RS to become so big and how they might not care about trivial programming niceties, as long as the job got done and the progress continued.

    Now, obviously RS became very large and once the damage was done its hard to go back through the whole project and fix it in a small time frame. But at the end of the day, its only a coding convention for what was expected to be a closed source project between two brothers who knew the system in side out.

    So in my eyes although it may have been the wrong choice, it wasn't a bad one (not not bad enough to endure the slate that it got from you). Just not a good one.
