The best code is both easy to understand and written in the most efficient way possible.

Throughout the previous chapter, we used a combination of code that was easy to understand, but may not have been as efficient as possible. This is because we were learning many new principles in pygame, and things, such as collision detection, can be challenging to code. You may decide to do things differently after you have a few games under your belt!
