Coding conventions
------------------

* Use tabs to indent, spaces to align.
	* Specifically, spaces should not appear at the beginning of a line, and tabs should not appear _except_ at the beginning of a line.
	* The sole exception is in a multiline `if` statement; the initial `if` should have four spaces before it to align it with an `elseif` on the next line. For example:

```lua
	    if self.level <  900 then return 12
	elseif self.level < 1200 then return 8
	else return 6 end
```

* Comments at the end of lines of code must be one line long. Multi-line comments must appear in their own block.

```lua
	if self.piece:isDropBlocked(self.grid) then
		-- for bottomed out pieces, decrease the drop bonus if they stall on dropping it
		self.drop_bonus = math.min(self.drop_bonus - 1, 0) -- by 1 point per frame
	else                                                            
		if piece_dy >= 1 then                                       -- basically
			self.drop_bonus = self.drop_bonus + piece_dy * 20       -- this sort of
		end                                                         -- multiline comment
		self.drop_bonus = self.drop_bonus + 1                       -- is completely
	end                                                             -- unacceptable
```

* Use `snake_case` for variables, `camelCase` for functions.
