The update should change nothing should be noticeable in the front end. In the back end, I tried to change some code to employ a factory programming pattern and object pooling. I was able to do that for the newspapers that get fired, except I didn't do object pooling for the air drop. I also wanted to do the same for the dinosaurs, but I did not.
I realized that the air drop would not benefit as much from the object pooling. The dinosaur code would have to be significantly restructured to work with the factory programming pattern and object pooling. This has been a good learning lesson for me to plan and design my code better.
