What's your biggest Solution?!
-
I used to complain that solution in all my previous work were too big. But now that I just joined EA Games, the solution I work on takes the cake by a big margin: 541 projects! :O Can't wait for VS2022! In fact.. already using the preview.. :laugh: save for a few minor bug, it ain't too bad...

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.

41,000 tables.... Now that's ludicrous! :O :laugh: :thumbsup:

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.
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

Only 30 lines of code?!?! :omg: That's crazy! Almost as crazy as the fact you count lines of code as a decimal... :^)
It was written in APL. ;P

If we limit "your" down to solutions we actually created and maintain all of - 90 (https://github.com/fluffynuts/PeanutButter) I can't remember the largest from a corporate that I've been part of, tbh. My current company doesn't have such project-splosion :D

Wow. My largest solution has 36 projects.

hah! yeah, game projects have always been the biggest solutions I have worked on. The hardest to work with too.

Hopefully all the project build output folders are set to the same folder. What really matters is the number of lines of code, methods, classes, and files.
