Editor-GTK code formatting conventions

Editor-GTK conventions are like player conventions, but with some changes since the editor is written in Vala.

Naming


Constants

All upper case, with underscores as name separators, but no leading/trailing underscores:

THIS_IS_A_CONSTANT
Type names

Clases should be UpperCamelCase.

class MainWindow : Gtk.Window {
class Armor : Item {
Functions

Functions should be lower case with underscores as word separators.

void this_is_a_function() {

Properties should have getter and setter defined:

class Foo {
    private int random_int { public get; private set; }
    public bool has_something { public get; public set; }
}
Variables

Variables should be lower case with underscores as word separators.

int this_is_a_variable;

Comments

Use /* This style */ preferably.

Please use Valadoc comment style (Javadoc like) for code documentation.

License File Header

Remember to copy (from any other existing file) the license header to all new created files.
