Hi,
While working on the proposed new CS website (see my other message), I
dipped into CS itself again. I thereby realized that some classes are in
sub-namespaces of "CS", while a whole lot of others are not namespaced
at all, but are prefixed with "cs". I find this to be very confusing,
especially as a newcomer to the engine.
I guess this situation has historical reasons, but it feels very
inconsistent and I feel it should somehow be fixed, either by putting
everything in namespaces (into "CS", at least) and removing "cs"
prefixes, or by removing namespace use completely. I know that either
solution would break code currently using CS 1.9, but there is not very
much of that out there yet, and fixing it is a matter of simple finding
and replacing.
Note that this is not just a simple cosmetic issue, but directly affects
the ease of learning and the perceived complexity for new CS users which
might be terrified by the unclear namespace situation ("Was this in a
namespace or not?..." "csMath3 or CS::Math::Math3?..." etc.)
I think it is not to late to do something about it before releasing the
CS 2.0 release candidates.
Regards,
Denis
