On that last example I’m more for the the before rather than the after as you usually want to scan the keys in the hash-array and its nice to keep it all together on one screen. I might go somewhere between depending on whats important to the code.

I agree totally with you on lining up brackets. Also it gives the white space after the control statements “meaning”. I guess I am a bit flexible with the white space, using it to draw attention to the key parts of the code: to communicate to the reader!

Code really is for humans to read as machines like binary and don’t really care what you dow with white space.

p.s. I do things like:

for($something as $whatever)
for($whatever as $that)
if($whatever == $cool)
$found_it = $cool;

as the inner most line is just a line and the 3 sets of closing braces (a) don’t add any information visually (b) introduce 3 chances for something to go wrong if you forget one when pasting code around etc.

Haven’t had a play on COD4 yet. Did give Spore a bit of a go but there was no guns per-se, though hovering about in my UFO, shooting small squeaky bug-eyed creatures with my death-ray was kind of satisfying…

Heh, that looks fun!

Would be fun for games and PatchBox… Might have to scale it up a bit

Mmm, Crysis in 3D – yum…

You seen this, that works on a similar process:
