One possible set of rules of many.
Were does the "Standard" bit come in then? If you have "many", or hell even "a few" you don't have a standard. Dreamora would you have any disagreement with me adopting some of your standards?
Except that would be pointless as his conventions are geared towards BlitzMAX and an object oriented paradigm, so would be useless in Blitz3D where there are only ever 2 types of variable scope (Global or not global) and 4 types of variables Integer, Float, String and Type. There's no point in applying design patterns (like Singleton or Factory) because the language isn't type safe anyway, and doesn't have a mechanism to prevent you from creating more than one instance of a type. getting people off from posting unreadable 6th class code in the beginners board that they better should have kept for themself.
Well that can't be the point at all, because people who write 6th class code (whatever that is) are not the kind of people who adopt arbitrary standards. How long do you think it takes a person new to Java before they get accustomed to using the Java Programming Style Guidelines? Try "Forever". Whats wrong with remarkably pretty and complicated flow charts?
The degree to which they are superfluous? Besides if that's best reason you can come up with, I think it perfectly illustrates exactly how bad an idea this is.
