Formatting:
* Curly braces on separate lines.
* Indent with 4 spaces instead of tabs (configure your editor).
* Unix line endings.
* Always use curly braces with control statements (if, for, while, do).
* Always use curly braces with control statements (if, for, while, do, switch).
* UTF-8 file encoding without BOM.
* Extract code into multiple functions if code is too complex. ZR is still bad
at following this rule.
Conventions:
* Try to use good names for variables and functions. By looking at the name
alone, it should be obvious what the function does or what the variable
contains.
* Extract code into multiple single-purpose functions if the code is too
complex. Then it's also easier to come up with good names. ZR is still bad at
following this rule.
* If the code needs comments, it should be refactored/renamed to better explain
what it's doing. ZR has a lot of unnecessary comments, mostly because it's not
following the single purpose-function rule above.
Console Variables
-----------------
Create wrapper functions for console variables (cvars) to avoid tight coupling
between cvars and logic.
Do create new cvars instead of hard coding settings.
See examples in src/zr/ztele/cvars.inc.
