Generally speaking, just try to match the conventions you see in the code you are reading. For this project, these include:
- Do not use shortened command and function names - e.g.,
sinstead ofset,$pinstead of$piece - One command per line
- Do not use dot syntax
- Indentation with tabs
- camelCase class names
- PascalCase method names
- Avoid using postconditionals
- Formal parameter names start with
p - Always check %Status return values
- Generally, throw and catch exceptions rather than using %Status
