General Overview

This game uses a somewhat strict OOP structure for high-level stuff - But the actual game-world behavior utlizes the Concord ECS library.

General Coding Guidelines

• Class definition directories, files and declarations should be UpperCamelCase.
• Any class instance references should be camelCase.
• Any world emissions or events should use the following format: prefix_camelCase
  • ie, entity_moveTo(e,x,y), physics_applyForce(e,x,y)

Callgage's Coding Commandments (for this project):

• 4 space tabs.
• Use _ to indiciate that a function is private.
• Less abstraction = better.
• ALL_CAPS_PRIVATE_CONSTS
• Create "types" for large clusters of data that get sent around the codebase.
• Logic that mutates a lot of data should be condensed to as little area as possible (preferably one file / system / class).
• Consider where you might intuitively look for logic when debugging in order to determine the best place for it.

Notes on GUI stuff:

Not using any GUI libraries or anything for this project. Everything will just pretty much be hardcoded bespoke to each menu (save for some simple abstractions.) Not a great solution, but, for me it's the most straightforward and fastest short-term.
