The above array was pseudocode at best. I know that it's a bad idea, I'm just saying you could do it, no that you should. I have at least some experience with the whole OO thing and have been programming in some capacity since about 7th grade; so I know bad code when I see it, or at least some of the time. :cheeky:
Of course, I have a ... slight aversion to Java, probably because I associate it most often with script kiddies.
Also, as for readability, it is important if you're working with other people beside yourself; which many experienced programmers do so they can accomplish more in less time.

Good design is far more important than language choice and the readibilty of functions, variables etc. has very little to do with whether they contain underscores or capital letters.
Absolutely, this.

I'd encourage you to try and strive for readability 100% of the time, even if it's just you that is going to look at the code. Come back to it in a month after not looking at it and you'll be dogfooding your very own WTF.

Aw, don't hate Java because of bad associations. It is, for the most part, a great language, fantastic for server side applications and networking and it's used in a lot of very serious software.
Though I wish it had something like C#'s LINQ

Tch, ya don't need to tell me about that. I took a look at some of my old VB6 code I wrote up back in my 9th grade programming class. No indentation, things were rammed together... Really made me realize how much I've grown since then. :cheeky:

Well, C# got to me first. Also, I really don't bother with Java simply because of the fact that I
have C#, and it has all I need. Well... Except cross-platforming, in which case I have Mono, but even if I didn't, it wouldn't matter to me because I really don't care about writing crap for Mac or Lunix.

Lunix.
Is that the free operating system for werewolves?

No, only for those who *think* they're werewolves.
