More often than not, you'd want your code to find something in the game world. As you might already know, computers are not exactly the best at parallel processing like human eyes are, so they have to sequentially look through the entire search space. When doing so, first and foremost, the most efficient search method is one that never runs, within a search space that is of size zero ;-) | More often than not, you'd want your code to find something in the game world.
