Description

Now that game.c was broken up and these functions are no longer in game.c, it doesn't make much sense to have the prefix anymore. It doesn't mean much and it's just clutter that makes the functions longer and harder to read. So rename for example,

  • game_round_ui_text_update() -> round_ui_text_update()
  • game_blind_select_handle_input() -> blind_select_handle_input()

Contributor guide

Research direction
Search the codebase for all functions with the 'game ' prefix. Identify which ones were originally in game.c and have been moved out by examining the repository history. Rename these functions by removing the prefix, and update all references. Use grep or your IDE to find every occurrence, and run tests to ensure nothing is broken.
