Code formatting:

This project uses modified Google style guides for all source code, which are enforced by the Spotless autoformatter.

By default, ./gradlew spotlesscheck runs while building the project; generally, any convention or formatting errors reported by Spotless can be resolved by running ./gradlew spotlessApply from the root directory.

Please note the following conventions:

• Classes should be in UpperCamelCase
• Methods should be in lowerCamelCase
• Variables should be concise but descriptive, and written in lowerCamelCase
• Constants should be kept solely in the Constants class, and should be written in UPPERCASE_SEPERATED_BY_UNDERSCORES
• When you create a method, write a comment telling us what the method does, and if necessary, how it does it.
• When you create a constant, include units either in the name or in a comment to the right of the constant declaration.
• Bracketing: follow the conventions below:

public void ExampleMethod() {
    if(x == 1) {
        //Do something
    } else {
        //Do something else
    }
}
