Coding Styles

We don't have much of a coding style definition, especially when it comes to naming things.
I generally use whatever the current file is using but I would suggest implementing a coding style that makes variables and functions as ONE of these:
1. clown_has_aids
2. clownHasAids
3. ClownHasAids
Depending on which the maintainers want to adopt, it's just kind annoying to see SpinAnimation() and change_number_of_hands exist at the same time and for new code we can nip it in the bud.
This wouldn't be an overnight change.

Just wait until you get all 3 of the above ClownHasAids variations doing different things.

The idea is to pick one of those styles, not all three as is the current situation to prevent this and other annoyances.

Usually I just go with
procs: CapsPerWord
var: nocapsperword
I don't think it's worth the bikeshed and arguing about which style is superior to ever enforce though.

The most common i've seen is name_of_thing for both procs and vars.
