Retro Games Used to Explain Composition over Inheritance

Original: Composition over Inheritance Explained using Retro Games https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNzP1aLAffM&list=PLCl5BUbK0jXt5

A new educational video uses classic retro games to explain the software design principle of composition over inheritance, the idea that objects should be built by combining behaviors rather than through deep class hierarchies. The guide is being shared and discussed in programming and software engineering circles as a fresh, accessible take on a long-standing object-oriented design debate.

Why now: Developers are engaging with an accessible, game-based explanation of a fundamental and frequently debated object-oriented design principle.
