Readability

I have been looking through the existing Delphi robot code.

After the mechanical port, we should do a bunch of renames and cleanup.

I don't know what this variable does: oPrivGearNb

I think its name should be obvious. I think the "o" is unnecessary, and I think the rest doesn't tell me what it is. If the Nb means number, that is also not really necessary. We don't have to make variable names long, just make the names as predictable and natural as possible would be great.

Let's use the C# Boundary to make nice type and variable names. But making the code so natural that anyone reading it can instantly figure out what is going on, approachability, is important.

I think we should not do this:

  property RaceTimeBeforeNext: Double
     read oRaceTimeBeforeNext;

That just wastes space and pollutes the namespace. Lets just expose things as a data member, we can make it a property one day without changing any the other code. It gets us nothing.

I think with an afternoon of search and replace across files we could make the Torcs robot easier for a random programmer on the street.

I presume the data for RaceTimeBeforeNext is needed, but it sure sounds like a weird information.

Just imagine if variables had totally random names. How much would that slow progress?
