01. Common Naming Patterns

Naming is crucial for readable and maintainable code. Try to be consistent in the naming style throughout your code.

1.1 Do

IsX: Often used for naming logic variables to ask a question (for example, IsEmpty).
OnX: An overloadable function called by the framework.
SubscribeX: Subscribe to framework event named X, often passing an OnX function to it.
MakeC: Make an instance of class c without overloading the c constructor.
CreateC: Create an instance of class c, beginning its logical lifetime.
DestroyC: End the logic lifetime.
C:c: If you’re working with a single instance of class c, it’s fine to call it C.

Decorate type names. Just call it thing, not thing_type or thing_class.
Decorate enumeration values. Not color := enum{COLOR_Red, COLOR_Green}, use color := enum{Red, Green}.
