Coding Styles

[SpriggsySpriggs]

I like to code like a C coder. Declaring everything explicitly, avoiding temp variables when possible, and using semi-descriptive names for the variables. I also like to have all my constant declarations before everything else. Then the UDTs. Then the DECLARE LIBRARY sections. Depending on whether or not the program is large, I even like to have a "main" sub/function that is called in the code rather than just naked code in the main body. Constants are always SCREAMING_SNAKE case. Functions and subs are always UpperCamelCase. Variables are lowerCamelCase. BM files always contain only functions. BI files only contain declarations. If the program doesn't need any graphics, it will always be a console program. If a task can be performed using an external library, I will use that first before trying to reinvent the wheel.
