That much is clear but why does his other version of __gen_id() work
(after a fashion)? It doesn't increment the class variable but the
instances get an incremental id.
The function was like this:
def __gen_id(self):
ty = self.__class__.__name__
id = ''
while id in self.__instance_registry:
id = '%s_%d' % (ty, self.__instance_counter)
self.__instance_counter += 1
self.__instance_registry[id] = self
return id
Also, is there any problem with incrementing
GameObject.__instance_counter from __gen_id()? I guess not?
