Explain why refactoring is needed.
List technical debt concerns.
Describe the steps to refactor.
Refactor the R2-D2 Navigation Subroutines to improve efficiency and maintainability. Current code is a tangled mess of patched logic accumulated over decades, making debugging as difficult as understanding droid beeps without C-3PO.
• Spaghetti Code: Legacy logic from the Clone Wars era mixed with Rebel Alliance patches.
• Redundant Calculations: Multiple overlapping star map lookups slow down route optimization.
• Hardcoded Paths: Direct coordinates to Tatooine, Hoth, and Endor hardcoded instead of using dynamic route generation.
• Modularize navigation functions into separate, reusable components.
• Optimize hyperspace jump calculations to reduce redundant processing.
• Replace hardcoded routes with a dynamic galactic mapping system.
• Upgrade outdated dependencies (no more relying on 1977-era tech).
• Identify and isolate redundant navigation logic.
• Implement modular functions for route calculation and obstacle avoidance.
• Write unit tests to validate optimized hyperspace jump paths.
• Deploy updates and monitor R2’s performance on live missions.
• Navigation subroutines execute 30% faster than before.
• Code is modular and well-documented, allowing easy maintenance.
• No unintended detours into Sith-controlled territory.
• R2-D2 stops making distressed beeping noises when processing hyperspace routes.
