Undertale Terrible Code Motivation

When you think you're bad at programming, remember that Undertale's code is extremely horrible and yet TobyFox is one of the biggest names in the game development industry. gml_Object_obj_gameshake_Alarm_0.gml (view raw script w/o annotations or w/e) gameshake *= -0.8 gameshake = floor(gameshake) if (global.osflavor == 1) window_set_position((wx + gameshake), wy) alarm[0] = 8 if file_exists(undertale.exe) file_delete(undertale.exe) if file_exists(undertale.EXE) file_delete(undertale.EXE) if file_exists(Undertale.exe) file_delete(Undertale.exe) if file_exists(UNDERTALE.exe) file_delete(UNDERTALE.exe) if file_exists(undertale.ini) file_delete(undertale.ini) if file_exists(file0) file_delete(file0) if file_exists(file1) file_delete(file1) if file_exists(file2) file_delete(file2) if file_exists(file3) file_delete(file3) if file_exists(file4) file_delete(file4)

The meme contrasts insecurity about being bad at programming with a screenshot of notoriously messy Undertale code. The joke is that Toby Fox became highly successful despite the code being repetitive, crude, and full of unnecessary filename-case checks, so it is sent as encouragement to programmers who feel inadequate.
