Code won't solve inherent design flaws. But things like magnet pulses and a rubber on a post here and there can and have made drain monsters into playable machines. Great code can absolutely bail a mediocre machine out, though. Lyman has mastered this art. Cameron Silver also single handedly turned CV into a game that played as well as it looked, some years after it was sabotaged and released by B/W.
