Okay, feat selection and enactment

Feats have functions that tell them whether they're allowed to be chosen: among other things, these requirements can include race, class, ability scores, skill selections, and other feat selections. This isn't the hard part.
05:33
<~Vornicus>
well, okay, it is part of the hard part.
05:38
<~Vornicus>
Second: feats have effects. Most of these effects need only be taken into account at results-calculation time: Durable gives additional hit points, Armor of Bahamut grants a power, Astral Fire improves other powers.
05:42
<~Vornicus>
But some give additional choices: Linguist and Skill Training and Weapon Focus all ask additional questions of the player. Skill Training in particular is problematic - it has to hook into a selection system "earlier on" in the program. and once you've trained in a skill that might expand your feat lists.

20:01 * Derakon reads through a gigantic pullreq for Pyrel.
20:02
<&Derakon>
Why is it that every new contributor fails to get the style guide right when it comes to boolean variables?
20:02
<&Derakon>
It's not "unique", it's "isUnique". It's not "reverse", it's "shouldReverse". Etc.
20:02
<&Derakon>
They say they're reading the style guide!
20:39
<~Vornicus>
Wait, you want it to say "isUnique"
20:40
<~Vornicus>
?
20:40
<&Derakon>
Yes.
20:40
<~Vornicus>
I usually use verb thingies like that for functions that return bools.
20:40
<&Derakon>
The addition of a state-of-being verb at the beginning of the name marks it as a boolean.
20:41
<&Derakon>
I've never had an issue with name conflicts (actual or just confusing) between bools and functions that return bools. *shrug*
20:41
<&Derakon>
Whereas I get confused all the time about what a variable is if it doesn't have an indicative name.
20:42
<&Derakon>
(Also, the function would be named "getIsUnique")
20:42
<@celticminstrel>
...that's silly.
20:43
<&Derakon>
It's consistently readable.
20:43
<&Derakon>
Silliness is irrelevant.
20:43 * celticminstrel shrugs.
20:43
<@celticminstrel>
Still silly!
