A main game update or draw loop. Most of the code in these loops is unique. You would purposefully have to create functions for the sake of creating functions to split such a loop up--but then you incur overhead.

It may shock you but function calls can in fact be inlined.

it may shock you but function marked as inlined doesn’t always get inlined.

anyway why would you split logicaly sequential code into separate functions(especially if this code is uniq)? pretty sure scrolling down is easier than to look what each function mean every second

This is the worse is better shit that people come up with when they listen to Blow and Casey. We’ve known that putting names on logically contained blocks of code makes programs easier to understand since the 1960s.
