My code is spaced out:
I usually use a ton of newlines when writing programs, even when i am on the computer where i have indenting.
My code is different:
I usually use whatever method i can think of to write a program, possibly bypassing normal standards or conventions in the way
My code is hard to read:
Even i have trouble going back and figuring out what variables mx,my,a,ab,ac,ad.... were for XD
Your code is one of the foundations of my code; so complex that I need to spend a lot of time deciphering it and in the process learning new ways to program.  Thank you. :)

My code is often...
optimized as it is written
never given a second look
working wonderfully, but has the occasional bug that takes hours to find
easy to go back to (for me)

Heh, I try to write my code to my code writing style. I have to leave myself notes all over the place, or Ill have no idea what I was doing before I quit for two or three weeks/months/years

Not that I've ever had a calc survive for more than 2 years :P

I'm kinda OCD about my code. It's bug free or it's not finished. I'm not usually very motivated though :P

Same here, except it's worse with me, especially with comp languages. If anyone looks through my code, they'd notice immediately that structure is exactly the same, down to the smallest whitespace :P

Something about TI-BASIC forced me to make everything the same, super-optimized way.

My code is:

As optimized as possible as written or at least just written so it works.
Occasionally there is the bug here and there that is a pain to fix.
Optimized even greater when gone over again, if possible.
Commentless.

Addendum:

My code is kind of like me, scatterbrained and in several places at once. Bug hunting is like an African safari inside my calc.

Awww it is inspiring to know how inspiring i could be to some fellow programmer  :)

My code gets the job done, often in the quickest way, but it's confusing as hell to read.

Comments are something I lack in entirety.

Quote from: me in the tilemapper thread [url=http://ourl.ca/7765/138246;topicseen#new
/\i do that type of thing all the time(get a hunch as to how something could work, write it out as quickly as possible, and, if it doesn't work[which is usually], fiddle with it blindly until it does). after this process, i usually fall asleep(it tends to occur when i'm really tired), and then read over it in the morning, try to understand it, and re-write it from scratch.

my code has no comments whatsoever(unless i add them at the very end for other people's viewing pleasure), and contains many odd habits formed during my BASIC programming(i.e. putting everything on one line because i'm trying to squeeze as much code onto the tiny screen at a time as is possible). my development either proceeds as is written in the quote above or during the day when i'm slightly sane and plan things out beforehand. if the former is true, chances are i'll have to do it over again to make it run at a decent speed, and, if the latter is true, chances are it wont work at all  ;D

Oh lol I remember when I put as many things in one line as possible. Later, I started getting tired of losing everything because I accidentally hit CLEAR so what I do, now, is just put enough code in one line so it remains compact. Example:

I will not do the following:
Code: [Select]
If A=2
Then
1->A
Text(1,1,"Hello world!",T,"TEST",U
Else
0->A
End
I'll not do the following either:
Code: [Select]
If A=2:Then:1->A:Text(1,1,"Hello world!",T,"TEST",U:Else:0->A:End
Instead I'll do
Code: [Select]
If A=2:Then
1->A
Text(1,1,"Hello world!",T,"TEST",U
Else:0->A:End

Still compact, but much less harm caused if you accidentally press CLEAR.

I absolutely hate putting everything in one line, because it takes 3 times longer to scroll through extremly large programs.

Organized, optimized, efficient.
I don't mean to brag, but I will organize my code very logically, and will comment above every subroutine with the inputs and what they do.  If my game has some sort of organized list, I will comment somewhere about how the list is structured.  I have commented about which variables do what.  I also hard-wired my brain to spit out optimized Axe code, so I don't have to go back and optimize it later.
My C# and Java code is of a similar quality.

In BASIC:
My code is almost decipherable by me
Is always optimized
"spaced" out in development
No comments

In Assembly:
Only I can read it and know what it says
Takes a few times to properly optimize
"Spaced" in development
No comments
Confusing to follow, even when translated
