These changes were supposed to be in de524c1a26 but got lost in my
Git stash...
Once again, this is very experimental code; please don't base any
serious changes on it.
Before, an options object containing properties and values to be used
was how decorated instances of the class would be created. This meant
the constructor could assign anything you feel like to `this`. Rather
than that, the constructor now assigns a strict set of values, and
methods are redefined in subclasses.
Basic unit tests were added to test if they could be written for after
the final refactor to fix the other memory leak here.
By having ``return`` in these instances, the line ``room.update();`` never happens, so it gives the illusion that the server is lagging when it's probably not.
Among the newly added rules, there are quite a few intended to enforce
compliance of CONTRIBUTING.md-blessed idioms, as well as ensure
safe usage of classes and constant bindings.
We are also now enforcing usage of early return in commands.js,
which has 100% compliance as of fd2c45c.
- Method `this.runBroadcast()` has been split from `this.canBroadcast()`.
It's now the only method handling command-usage and intended as the main API
for synchronous commands. Async commands will execute both separately.
Note that the `suppressMessage` parameter is now passed to `runBroadcast`.
- The semantics of `broadcasting` have been similarly split.
`this,broadcastMessage` will be set to a truthy value when `this.canBroadcast` is run.
`this,broadcasting` will only be set to `true` once `this.runBroadcast` is executed.
