Imported from oeed/CraftOS-Standards.

My bad, the button is being weird.

Make definition that this is exclusively lua text files, not bytecode

I personally don't think that just a filename extension should be a whole standard. Considering API design (using require over os.loadAPI) and coding practices (globals vs. locals) are hot topics of debate in the community, we should use this document to standardize some of those interfaces - the main one being to promote the use of require and modules that don't have side-effects. To avoid conflict, we should avoid personal style preference (tabs vs. spaces, 2 vs. 4 indentation width), but stuff that actually affects the computer, and readability of code, should be standardized.

I agree with this, it'd allow the standard to have more purpose than simply declaring a file extension. The original oeed standards did not do anything beyond specifying the filename.

Maybe create a list of bad practices these files should avoid, or better yet good practices the files should use.

• Use require when importing libraries
• Avoid necessary use of globals

My language abilities are lacking, and these are the only two things I can think of off the top of my head currently.

Alright, a few things to note, how should we format the .md file itself (including the header), personally fixed linebreaks aren't preferred. I tried to push a first iteration of the code but I don't have permission, so I'll look into that.

Was able to throw the changes into the ccsmb-4-additions branch, which is a bit messy bit gets the job done (I think haha)

[EmmaKnijn]

Alright, I think I managed to do it the proper way

EDIT: Nevermind, I think we just gotta wait on @tomodachi94 for them to turn on the "allow edits from maintainers" option

Fixed, try pushing now.

Thanks!

I'm working on a pretty big formal standard to replace this one - please bear with me until I can finish it up.

Closing in favor of #16.
