That's funny, that's actually exactly what I did to your atrocious, flashing red avatar. *cough*

nice, we should make some recommendations for others to help them with coding.
one recommendation is definitely, building your scripts out of chunks.

No need to get hostile, and the topic is "your way of coding" not "rate the a users avatar", and they have a similar topic for that if you didn't know.

With small things, I just type the code out. With medium sized things I have functions that are all run at the bottom of the program with very descriptive names to help with debugging. And with big projects I have multiple files and use dofile to load them and call their functions with a priority level define at the top of the file I am loading.

I usually try to make classes and define those class's functions at the top of the code. At the bottom I write the code that runs, calling and creating objects when necessary. Always try to put comments, but I get lazy... I also always indent and space to keep the code clean. With large programs I create multiple files for the classes and have a main. I use notepad++ on windows to program the code and have it open along with minecraft for debugging.

I mostly write APIs now, so I naturally use a lot of functions. I also have a window open to a minecraft session for quick testing, and a window open to the folder corresponding to the computer I'm using for testing. I use Notepad++ to write the code itself. I (usually) separate my variables by type and use (constants, tables, assorted values, etc.) and I type a lot of comments. I occasionally use the "main function" approach, but not too often (and when I do, the function is usually called "int_main()" and returns 0).

How big (in terms of line count) are most of your multi-file projects? I don't have any projects (besides OSes and server/client programs) that require multiple files.

My way of coding is to do whatever I feel like doing. I normally think in sections though.

[M4sh3dP0t4t03]

My way of coding is putting on music loud and write everything i need in functions, so the actual code that isnt functions is only a few lines.
