How come when i look at other people's code their grammar looks like this for example:
drawText
if ( !level.rankedmatch )
level endon( "lol_Spaces" );
for (;
player.pers[ "lol_Spaces" ] = 0;
wait .05
and the worst
wait 0.0001;
The biggest question i have is why do people never use
a capital letter for the start of a function name??????
They all use a lowercase for the first word followed by the rest
with capitals, who the hell started that trend? Is there actually some kind of
performance wise/easier to code reason for that it looks ugly asf.
wowAmazingPerformanceIncrease();
self.proffesionalWayOfTypingShit;
2nd why do people enjoy putting spaces on everything?
level endon( "aint_enough_spaces_lmao" );
for ( ; ; )
if ( !level.rankedmatch )
Looks very ugly if you ask me why not just:
DrawText
level endon("aint_enough_spaces_lmao");
for(;
if(!level.rankedmatch)
self.stopusingunessecarycapsufckingidoit;
And i personally use:
wait 0.05;
For loops.

This is all so true.

.05 Because it's shorter, and it helps in the long run. And using a space ( In the right place ) does make it look cleaner!

He's right. Ever since i started coding, i never did that. xD This thread is hilarious.

the most of them are 10 years old and it's easier to copy-paste/steal than to create their own stylish menu.

what does this thread have to do with people c+p'ing, its simply just asking why people do things the way they do, and the answer is that everyone has a different way of coding and a different style, if someone wants to do "wait .05;" and the next person wants to do "wait 0.05;" it doesn't matter since it does the same thing, even though technically speaking ".05" is the correct way since the zero doesn't represent anything but like i said before both ways are correct, other than that if people want to c+p allow it as long as you know you have achieved something how big nor small it is, at least you have something to feel proud of!
In fact to summon this thread up as a whole everyone codes in their own way so let them get on with it since its technically correct
. if you know how to clean up your code you are all good and hopefully we can carry on learning as we get better at GSC.

Climbing up the ladder
Everyone has his/her own coding conventions. Starting with lowercase and then capitalizing words is a convention of various programming languages like Java so no, it's not some idiot who started it
I prefer the following style:
But I do agree that those unnecessary spaces like
I prefer the following style:
if(level.myVar)
{
doShit();
thisIsBetterReadable = 1337;
wait 0.05;
waitForNoobs();
}
But I do agree that those unnecessary spaces like
doShit( "noob" );
are retarded. Also name your variables and functions to closely resemble their purpose instead of fuck() noob() or p(). It will be much easier to read and you look less like a skid.

It's all preference. Let people code however they like.
Not a productive question, closed.
