GCC 14.2
RAYLIB 5.5
pkgconf(MACOS)
This document outlines the coding style and conventions to be followed.
## 1. **File Structure**
- Header files should be wrapped with include guards to avoid multiple inclusions:
```c
#ifndef PHYSICS_H
#define PHYSICS_H
...
#endif // PHYSICS_H
```
## 2. **Naming Conventions**
- **Functions:** Function names should use `CamelCase` starting with a upercase letter.
`UpdatePhysicsDirection`, `UpdatePhysicsVelocity`
- **Structs:** Struct names should use `CamelCase` starting with an uppercase letter.
`Physics`
- **Variables:** Use `CamelCase` starting with a lowerase letter for local and parameter variables.
`vector`, `newSpeed`
## 3. **Function Design**
- Functions should be named descriptively, indicating the purpose or action performed.
`UpdatePhysicsDirection`, `UpdatePhysicsVelocity`
- Functions should take pointers when modifying variables outside their scope.
`void UpdatePhysicsDirection(Vector2 *direction, Vector2 vector)`
- Ensure function parameters have clear names to indicate their role.
`UpdatePhysicsVelocity(Vector2 *velocity, Vector2 *direction, float *speed)`
- Functions should be concise and focused on a single task. Avoid functions with multiple responsibilities.
## 4. **Struct Design**
- Prefer composition, where structs are composed of other structs or primitive data types. This allows for more flexible and modular designs.
```c
typedef struct {
Vector2 position;
Vector2 direction;
Vector2 velocity;
float speed;
} Physics;
```
Here, instead of trying to create a hierarchy of structs, we compose a Physics struct with relevant fields like `position`, `direction`, and `velocity`.
## 5. **Indentation & Formatting**
- **Indentation:** Use 1 tab for indentation. Never use spaces.
- **Spacing:** Place a single space after keywords like `if`, `for`, and `while`, and around operators (`=`, `+`, `-`, etc.) for readability.
- Example: `*velocity = Vector2Scale(*direction, *speed * GetFrameTime());`
- **Braces:** Use braces `{}` even for single-line blocks for consistency and future-proofing.
```c
if (condition) {
do_something();
}
```
## 6. **Pointer Usage**
- Use pointers when passing large structures or when modifying variables outside the scope of the function.
`Vector2 *position`, `float *speed`
- Avoid unnecessary dereferencing and use `*` clearly to indicate pointer dereferencing.
`*position = Vector2Add(*position, *velocity);`
## 7. **Consistency in Function Calls**
- When calling functions, parameters should be passed clearly, and care should be taken to avoid modifying data unintentionally unless needed.
```c
UpdatePhysicsDirection(&physics->direction, direction);
UpdatePhysicsVelocity(&physics->velocity, &physics->direction, &physics->speed);
UpdatePhysicsPosition(&physics->position, &physics->velocity);
```
## 8. **Comments and Documentation**
- Strive for clarity through descriptive naming and simple logic.
- Add comments to explain non-obvious logic, design decisions, or complex algorithms.
- Do not state the obvious; let the code speak for itself where possible.
## 9. **End of File**
- Always ensure that header files end with the appropriate closing include guard and a new line after the last line of code:
```c
#endif // PHYSICS_H
```
## 10. **General Rules**
- **Modular Design**: Break code into small, focused functions and modules with clear interfaces.
- **Refactoring**: Regularly refactor code to maintain simplicity and performance
- **Don't Repeat Yourself**: Reuse code by creating helper functions to avoid duplication
- **Avoid magic numbers:** Use constants or defines instead of hardcoded values.
- **Code readability:** Prioritize code readability and maintainability over shortness or cleverness.
