Noel Llopis is quoted here as saying it did happen: https://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/132500/dirty_coding_t... I'd assume that in the era where lots of stuff was global and code was messy and convoluted to fit into a console no one would take issue with yet another global variable if it was named a clever enough name as some buffer, temporary, cache, etc. and compilers didn't yet warn about unused variables or remove them (which is an easy fix in C anyway with a single totally portable line or a special compiler specific directive). |
