Building Maintainable Games Part 4

How to keep your games maintainable and easy to update. In part four learn how to manage different sponsor APIs from a single code base.

SBC Games wrote a series of tutorials on building games that are easy to maintain: "Many tutorials show you how to build a game. Let’s say, you already have one.
