Just making note, in the mind, of the names of these solutions, and what they do, is an effort in itself.

29. I actually had to knock up some code to find out ...

        string basePath = @"D:\\Documents\\AA Backed Up\\My Projects";
        string\[\] projects = Directory.GetFiles(basePath, "\*.csproj", SearchOption.AllDirectories);
        var solutions = projects.GroupBy(p => ExtractSolution(p, basePath))
                                .Select(g => new { Solution = g.Key, ProjectCount = g.Count() })
                                .OrderByDescending(a => a.ProjectCount);
        foreach (var solution in solutions)
            {
            Console.WriteLine($"{solution.Solution} : {solution.ProjectCount}");
            }

...
string ExtractSolution(string p, string b)
{
string result = p.Substring(b.Length + 1);
result = result.Substring(0, result.IndexOf('\\'));
return result;
}

That is crazy! Is that all just for the Frostbite engine? I assume it doesn't include any of the actual games? Is there a good reason for so many projects, or is it more a case of breaking things out to better control who gets access to what? I am currently on 27 projects. I guess if a product had lots of "off the shelf" plugins, that might be a good cause to grow the project count considerably, but other than that not sure how I would ever hit triple figures.

A platform that supported multiple products, most of which could be combined in a superset build. Over 30M lines of source code in all. It should have been smaller, but that's the norm for legacy software.

I think my biggest solution used to be somewhere around 20 projects... But 541 :omg: I'll raise you another one though, recently had to run a query on a database with around 41,000 tables X| My current biggest solution has six projects, but it's part of a larger environment with multiple solutions, which al have around five projects. It's microservicey, basically one monolith (which also isn't big, with five projects) with some smaller services around it. I think my solution with the most lines of code has a single project. It's a VB.NET project I inherited and it's by far the least maintainable. It has a form with over 4000 LOC, it calls services, databases, draws stuff, it does everything :omg: Not the largest code file I've ever seen, but probably in my top ten :laugh:

That beats the 334 projects in one of the solution files I work with.

That's just the Frostbite editor app (for the artist), the engine is another project. 600 projects. No game code in our Melbourne studio.. I am too new to comment whether all these project are needed or there just in case.... and many coworkers have no clue either about that... too big! :O
