    what's your lua convention?

    hi,

    Just want to know what convention do you use for lua or for gideros
    I myself has googled for any convention for lua, and been using upper camel case for class name and class filename. and do you use package (http://www.lua.org/pil/15.html)?

    and also, we use _ prefix for variable that is meant for private class variable

      I follow the same convention as you. And although It's not a coding convention, I always use lowercase for filenames.

      i'm curious of how you avoid class name conflict?

      Maybe you can check before creating it:
      if MySprite then
	error("MySprite is already defined")
else
	MySprite = Core.class(Sprite)
end
 
-- or more compactly
 
MySprite = MySprite and error("MySprite is already defined") or Core.class(Sprite)

      if for example, i want to have class name Shape but the functionality is different from that of the gideros Shape class(though it can happen to every other class, not just gideros class), how can i differentiate it ?

      like for example, in java this issue is solved with package

      @bysreg well theoretically you can namespace it, but I don't know if it would give you much
      --Create namespace for class
My = {}
 
My.Shape = Core.class()
 
function My.Shape:init()
end
 
--etc
      it's probably just better to select another class name
