There are a lot of really neat shortcuts I take in order to make things either run faster or just take far less time to write.
Here is an example
Are you talking about the use of abstract data types such as "workspace" or "option list"? I'm all for that. To make it readable, attach a comment to the block that constructs one of those explaining what the fields mean. Or maybe just put them all in the project's notes.
By the way, in dealing with a long list of options, instead of making the user provide all or nothing, I like to define an option list to look like {"draw distance", 2000, "max steps", 800 ...} Then the user can provide an OPTIONS input of {"max steps", 200} and you change that one and keep the defaults for the others: https://people.eecs.berkeley.edu/~bh/v2ch13/fourie.html.
Yea, this is what I have so far:
Oh, yes, that's very nice. If it were me, I'd call the block "raycast options" so as to leave open the possibility of using the same trick elsewhere in the project.
Oh! and I just figured out what those "$-" entries in the title text are for! Brilliant.
Yea, it's sort of a trick using the text formatting stuff that allows me to put in a space even though it is not designed for that. It can also be used to make lines of text taller than normal by putting in a number after it
I should make you take over maintenance of the Reference Manual!
You should have seen my extended math library titles
