BeatBox

Coding style?

Asked by Victor Martinez on 2011-12-02

When looking at the code of BeatBox, many parts seem to follow the Java coding style (camelCase for variable and function names, etc...). Having a C background, I tend to use lower_case_function_names() and lower_case_variable_names. The official Vala documentation uses a coding style very similar to C as well.

So, my question is, what is the preferred coding style for the project?

BTW, it would be nice to have coding guidelines in the HACKING file.

Use the elementaryos guidelines. BeatBox was started well before any guidelines were in place, and I tended to follow no particular pattern (unfortunately).
