Behold, the most CATASTROPHICALLY over-engineered level system ever conceived by human hands! Someone really looked at the simple concept of "return the level number" and said "nah, let me write 18+ if statements instead." Like, my dude... just `return level_curr`. THAT'S IT. That's the whole function. You literally just need ONE line of code!

Game devs out here writing novels when a haiku would suffice. This is the programming equivalent of using a 50-step recipe to make toast. The function is literally checking if a number equals itself and then... returning that same number. It's like asking "if I have 5 apples, how many apples do I have?" seventeen times in a row.

The real tragedy? Somewhere in production, there's probably a level 19 that crashes the entire game because they forgot to add another if statement. 💀
