<aside> ❗ C++ Class nomenclature: prefix every class with ‘OPAG_’ and the rest has to respect Pascal Case notation

✅ - OPAG_BaseCharacter, OPAG_GunModule ❌ - OPAGBaseCharacter, OPAG_Base_Character

General

The source code must be easily understandable, so usually the clarity wins over efficiency and performance.

• Any type of name should always be as descriptive as possible. No matter the length of the name, the objective is to have self-documenting code:

// Bad:
a = b * h;

// Good:
rectangleArea = base * height;

• Avoid writing variables or functions with dummy names with the intention of changing them in the future, because probably you won’t

// Bad:
void TMPfunc(int x, int y)
{
	// Do stuff...
}

• Source code must be written in English

// Bad:
areaRettangolo = ...

// Good:
rectangleArea = ...

Naming

Every name should be written accordingly to the corresponding context, based on the following concepts.

The Standard Naming Convention is PascalCase: all first letters in uppercase.

// Bad:
rectangleArea = ...

// Good:
RectangleArea = ...
