Coding standards

Revision as of 12:23, 12 July 2008

Guidelines

Generally speaking

• We put curly brackets on separate lines and use 4 space tabs.
• Tab themselves should be spaces, not actual hard tabs.
• Method names have all their words capitalized (as opposed to Java, which culturally uses camelCase).
• Unless the classes are very trivial, there should be one class per file.
• Please keep the code warning free, using #pragma only if absolutely necessary. For instance

#pragma warning disable 0612
           ASSET_TYPE_TO_EXTENSION[(sbyte)AssetType.Script]              = "_script.txt";   // Not sure if we'll ever see this
#pragma warning restore 0612

Otherwise in general, when adding to existing code please respect the conventions already being used in the file you're editing (which should often follow the standard C# coding guidelines).

Example

public void WakeUp()
{
    if (tooTired)
    {
        Thread.Sleep(3600);
    }
}
