Coding Style

1. Functions and Classes are always Capitalized. Some libs use camel case (Swoosh and SFML). Tolerate them as much as possible.
2. SOLID principles. I know some classes are not doing this, they should be refactored.
3. Long function names are better than cryptic function names
4. Doxygen-style documentation
5. Unless impossible, code implementation goes in .cpp file and declarations go in .h file.
6. No globals or singleton classes.
7. Prefer elegant design over hacking it together "it just works". This is game engine, so API matters most.

The Battle network games are very precise when it comes to their inner-workings. The engine saw many deep refactors that left me with sleepless nights but it was worth it. I could not have gotten this far without the help from many contributors ranging from code contributions, art, and general battle network knowledge helping me shape this project up and getting closer to the original goals of an accurate and robust engine.
