| description | SS14 C# and YAML code style for SS14-ART-CORE, including handler naming, dependency naming, Entity generic APIs, On/Try/Can/Do method shape, DataField/ProtoId/Prototype style, localization naming, comments, classes, TimeSpan, and performance guardrails. |
SS14 Code Style
C#
- Use file-scoped namespaces.
- Mark classes
sealed, abstract, static, or [Virtual].
- Fields and auto-properties come before methods.
- DataFields and public APIs need useful XML docs when non-obvious.
- Comments explain why, not mechanical what.
- Avoid magic strings/numbers and copy-paste code.
- Use
TimeSpan, IGameTiming.CurTime, paused fields, and serializers for runtime timers.
- Avoid extension methods on simulation types; prefer EntitySystem public APIs.
Naming
- Event handlers:
OnXEvent.
- Dependencies: private readonly
_systemName or _managerName.
- Public system flow:
On -> Try -> Can -> Do.
- Localization IDs: kebab-case and subsystem-scoped.
- Shared types get
Shared prefix only when server/client derived types exist.
Data
- Use
Entity<T?> public APIs and Resolve.
- Use
[DataField], ProtoId<T>, [Prototype], SoundSpecifier, SpriteSpecifier.
- Prefer prototypes over enums for gameplay kinds.
- Use
TimeSpan for durations and paused fields/serializers where needed.
YAML
Follow .agents/rules/ss14-style-localization.md.
