Try to follow the style of the existing code. The `check_format.py` file can be used to find violations of indentation and line endings. `// TODO: Add a full style guide` <br>

### Textures
If you want to add new textures, make sure they fit the style of the game.
If you want to add new textures, make sure they fit the style of the game. It's recommended that you have baseline skills in pixel art before attempting to make textures. A great collection of tutorials can be found [here](https://lospec.com/pixel-art-tutorials)
If any of the following points are ignored, your texture will be rejected:
1. The size of block and item textures must be 16×16 Pixels.
2. There must be at most 16 different colors in the entire texture.
3. Textures should be shaded with hue shifting, rather than with darkening only.\
If you are not sure how to use hue shifting, [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNtMAxYaGyg&t=11) is a video that explains it well.
1. Resolution is 16 x 16
2. Lighting direction is top-left for items and blocks.
3. Keep colour palettes small. Do not use near-duplicate colours, do not use noise, filters, or brushes that create unnecessary amounts of colours. Most blocks can be textured with ~4-6 colours.
4. Reference other block textures to see how colours & contrast is used. Test your textures ingame alongside other blocks.
5. Blocks should tile smoothly. Avoid creating seams or repetitive patterns.
6. Use hue shifting conservatively. Take the material into account when choosing colours.
7. Items have full, coloured, 1-pixel outlines. It should be shaded so that the side in light (top left) is brighter, while the side in shadow (bottom right) is darker.
8. Items should have higher contrast than their block counterparts.
Your texture may be edited or replaced to ensure a consistent art style throughout the game.
