gollark: Oh, and instead of writing `"tick-instances1.csv"` all over the place maybe make it a constant.
gollark: Looking at MainApplication.py:> objects = []This is not a very descriptively named thing. There should probably be a comment.> `def populate(self):`Arguably, it isn't very good design to make the code responsible for display *also* directly handle directly loading CSVs and such. Maybe this should be separated out more.> `def increment(self):`This does not appear to save anywhere, although I may have missed that bit.
gollark: Also also also, the ` ticks_count = 0 # this is supposed to hold the number of ticks we have instanced an object for` on the `Tick` class is not used anywhere.
gollark: Also also, `def __str__(self): pass` doesn't seem to do anything either.
gollark: Also, this function seems to have no valid reason to exist.
