2.`//` comments should generally go above the line in question, rather than in-line.
3. Avoid `/* */` block comments, even when writing long comments.
4. Use \`variable_name\` code blocks in comments to signify that you're referring to specific types and variables.
5. Start comments with capital letters; end them with a period if they are sentence-like.
4. Use comments to organize long and complex stretches of code that can't sensibly be refactored into separate functions.
5. Avoid making variables `pub` unless it is needed for your example.
## Code conventions
1. Refactor configurable values ("magic numbers") out into constants with clear names.
2. Prefer `for` loops over `.for_each`. The latter is faster (for now), but it is less clear for beginners, less idiomatic, and less flexible.
3. Use `.single` and `.single_mut` where appropriate.
4. In Queries, prefer `With<T>` filters over actually fetching unused data with `&T`.
5. Prefer disjoint queries using `With` and `Without` over query sets when you need more than one query in a single system.
6. Prefer structs with named fields over tuple structs except in the case of single-field wrapper types.
7. Use enum-labels over string-labels for system / stage / etc. labels.
## "Feature" examples
These examples demonstrate the usage of specific engine features in clear, minimal ways.
1. Focus on demonstrating exactly one feature in an example
2. Try to keep your names divorced from the context of a specific game, and focused on the feature you are demonstrating.
3. Where they exist, show good alternative approaches to accomplish the same task and explain why you may prefer one over the other.
4. Examples should have a visible effect when run, either in the command line or a graphical window.
## "Game" examples
These examples show how to build simple games in Bevy in a cohesive way.
1. Each of these examples lives in the [/examples/games] folder.
2. Aim for minimum but viable status: the game should be playable and not obviously buggy but does not need to be polished, featureful, or terribly fun.
3. Focus on code quality and demonstrating good, extensible patterns for users.
1. Make good use of enums and states to organize your game logic.
2. Keep components as small as possible but no smaller: all of the data on a component should generally be accessed at once.
3. Keep systems small: they should have a clear single purpose.
4. Avoid duplicating logic across similar entities whenever possible by sharing systems and components.
4. Use `///` doc comments to explain what each function / struct does as if the example were part of a polished production codebase.
5. Arrange your code into modules within the same file to allow for simple code folding / organization.
