Development Notes

If you are contributing to this project, please keep the following notes in mind:

• Add your name and email to the AUTHORS file.
• Follow coding conventions according to google's C++ Style Guide.
• Commits should provide a meaningful message, which uses the imperative, present tense: "change", not "changed" nor "changes", AND start with a capital letter.
• Commits should always refer to an issue: use #xxx, fix #xxx, or close #xxx.
• Pull Requests are reviewed by at least one other developer on another platform.
• Use lazy initialization as often as possible for time consuming tasks.
• Member Variables always start with m_, g_, and s_ (e.g.,m_member, g_global, and s_static)..
• Interface or abstract class names always start with Abstract (e.g., AbstractPainter).
• Enforce strict include sequence: gl, glew, std, glm, header, glow (there should be only a few exceptions).
