### Code Guidelines ### Code Guidelines
* Each mod must provide `mod.conf`. * Each mod must provide `mod.conf`.
* Mod names are snake case, and newly added mods start with `mcl_` * Mod names are snake case, and newly added mods start with `mcl_`, e.g.
* Each mod which add API functions should store functions inside a `mcl_core`, `mcl_farming`, `mcl_monster_eggs`
global table named like the mod. * To export functions, store them inside a global table named like the
mod, e.g.
```lua
mcl_example = {}
function mcl_example.do_something()
-- ...
end
```
* Public functions should not use self references but rather just access * Public functions should not use self references but rather just access
the table directly. the table directly, e.g.
* Use modern Minetest API
* Tabs should be used for indent, spaces for alignment ```lua
* Use double quotes for strings -- bad
* Use snake_case rather than CamelCase function mcl_example:do_something()
end
-- good
function mcl_example.do_something()
end
```
* Use modern Minetest API, e.g. no usage of `minetest.env`
* Tabs should be used for indent, spaces for alignment, e.g.
```lua
-- use tabs for indent
for i = 1, 10 do
if i % 3 == 0 then
print(i)
end
end
-- use tabs for indent and spaces to align things
some_table = {
{"a string", 5},
{"a very much longer string", 10},
}
```
* Use double quotes for strings, e.g. `"asdf"` rather than `'asdf'`
* Use snake_case rather than CamelCase, e.g. `my_function` rather than
`MyFunction`
* Dont declare functions as an assignment, e.g.
```lua
-- bad
local some_local_func = function()
-- ...
end
my_mod.some_func = function()
-- ...
end
-- good
local function some_local_func()
-- ...
end
function my_mod.some_func()
-- ...
end
```
