** var names
=== Make it readable ===
** format, indentation, no one-line, spacing, line returns
 
** Be consistent (space/tab indentation, (camel)casing, K&R / Allman style indenting. See [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indentation_style#K&R_style Indentation Styles])

=== Make reusable functions ===
 
* Don't duplicate, make functions
* Don't duplicate, make functions
 
* prefix your public variables with your tag
=== Variables ===
 
* Prefix your public variables with your tag
* PRIVATE (or params) your variables
* PRIVATE (or params) your variables


=== Code location ===
;Also:
 
* don't steal code and pretend it's yours
* '''Nothing''' in init box ''but'' [[local]] commands for this specific unit - '''all''' the init boxes are run client-side on client connection
* don't try to obfuscate your code: it's considered rude, especially since you learnt from others
* {{Inline code|'''0 {{=}}''' ''myCommand''}} is "useful" only for editor fields that for no apparent reason refuse commands returning a value.
* have fun
 
 
== Final words ==
 
* Don't steal code and pretend it's yours — be a decent human being.
* Don't try to obfuscate your code: it's considered rude, especially since you learnt from others.
* Have fun!
