smh, could have used the short form ()=>{ instead of function 😤

I've been coding long enough that I still think of that as a fairly new thing in JS.

The best code has the fewest lines.

This is just as easy to write, just as sloppy but hopefully way easier to read.

Game.onload = (data)=>{
let a = data;
a = JSON.decode(a)["saveGame"][0];
a = JSON.decode(a)["SaveGame"];
return a;
}

Why settle on cammel case ("saveGame") or upper cammel case ("SaveGame") when you can have one of each?

In German we say "doppelt hält besser". Is there an English saying like that? "Twice is stronger/more stable/holds better."
