I am looking for a code style. What do you suggest?

Yours

Seriously, it's very personal.

Good suggestion. I adopted to the usual style of FASM. But when it comes to identifier names I have a problem. Which is better to use: camelCase or internal_under_score?

The coding style you choose is less important
than being consistant throughout with that style.
Your coding style will continue to evolve, just be consistant with its usage.

Code:

Yahourt_CrèmeDeMarron!:
 call fridge.open
 call yahourt.get
 call creme.open
 call spoon.get
 call ENJOY

edfed, where's the garbage collection? You should call empty_pot.discard (as many times as necessary until cx=0), spoon.rinse, and most importantly, fridge.close (as soon as possible or else your morning process will suffer from water leaks). Very Happy

I do that sometimes too, but don't know when to do it exactly.

Agreed. Tea? Can orange juice fit in? Maybe not.

Brilliant! Never thought of that. But as just as neville said, the same thing happens.

I think it's settled; CamelCase will do for functions, and underscores will work for other names. But I do appreciate edfed's style; it's unique. And Tomasz's style. Although he doesn't comment his code. Isn't it always best to have sufficient and descriptive comments in your code?

This helps but it is a bit confusing though: assembly coding style
