This game I have been working on for three years, slowly calcifying around what started as a rapid-prototyping demo, has a very important function that draws a scene. The function takes two arguments, a scene, and "realBig". If "realBig" is true, the scene is drawn 4 times larger

I don't... I don't remember why realBig is there. I can't fathom why I'd need to sometimes draw it bigger than other times, much less by precisely a factor of 4. This function is called in three places, in two realBig is true, in the third it is false.

What.

This project has basically been me going in with a well-honed, carefully-thought-out mental list of mistakes to never make in a long-running game project, and then committing all of them

UPDATE: After further testing and code inspection, I have found that rather than making the scene four times larger, in fact "realBig" does nothing at all. On a *completely* unrelated note I have just discovered a situation where I need to draw everything exactly 4x smaller
