(In which case please file only a single issue about it.) There are too many non-working games right now to file individual issues for every one of them. - # Contributing -Citra is a brand new project, so we have a great opportunity to keep things clean and well organized early on.

As such, coding style is very important when making commits. We run clang-format on our CI to check the code. Please use it to format your code when contributing. However, it doesn't cover all the rules below. Some of them aren't very strict rules since we want to be flexible and we understand that under certain circumstances some of them can be counterproductive. Just try to follow as many of them as possible: ### General Rules * A lot of code was taken from other projects (e.g. Dolphin, PPSSPP, Gekko, SkyEye). In general, when editing other people's code, follow the style of the module you're in (or better yet, fix the style if it drastically differs from our guide). -* Line width is typically 100 characters, but this isn't strictly enforced. Please do not use 80-characters. +* Line width is typically 100 characters. Please do not use 80-characters. * Don't ever introduce new external dependencies into Core * Don't use any platform specific code in Core * Use namespaces often -* Avoid the use of C-style casts and instead prefer C++-style `static_cast` and `reinterpret_cast`. Never use `const_cast` or `dynamic_cast` (we build with RTTI disabled). The only exception to this rule is for casting between two numeric types, where C-style casts are encouraged for brevity and readability. +* Avoid the use of C-style casts and instead prefer C++-style `static_cast` and `reinterpret_cast`.
