INDENT YOUR CODE PLS

I don't really like to indent lua. Looks prettier non indented

 

[LinkMain111]

I got images to show doing this. I I hope it helps!

Background = Screen.loadImage(System.currentDirectory().."/img/bg.bmp")

-- Setting up stuff
while true do
Screen.waitVblankStart()
Screen.refresh()
pad = Controls.read()
if (Controls.check(pad,KEY_START)) then
System.exit()
end

Screen.drawImage(0,0,Background,TOP_SCREEN)
Screen.drawImage(0,0,Background,BOTTOM_SCREEN)

If you meant me, yes, I did mean tabbing. I'm fairly sure no language looks "prettier" non-indented (uhh assembler maybe?). It helps with readability and understanding where everything begins and ends.
BTW there's a loose "end" in the code you posted.

I know- I have fixed it now. I'll clean it up later. I still think it looks better like this.

Do you know that if you write something like 1k lines of code in LUA without identing it, your code will be completely ununderstandable?

For example take CHMM2 source ( https://github.com/Rinnegatamante/CHMM2/blob/master/source/index.lua ) and make the code like no identation.
I challenge you to understand how it works and where loops, if clauses and functions ends.

Challenge accepted! This homebrew will be released within the coming months - it is a port of Oregon trail.
