Describe Your Suggestion

We should have a code formatter to preserve and enforce the current code style. I'm thinking clang-format

[ ] Should work in an IDE
[ ] Should block uncompliant PRs

that might be a bit difficult for me to maintain unless the formatting tool supports KDevelop which is what I'm currently using for IDE choice (VSCode's support for anything is shit and the C++ extension constantly breaks resulting in BS errors that don't exist + my trial of CLion ran out)

The soon-to-be existence of a .editorconfig file should help somewhat with this. Directing editors like Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code which support the VSC++ EditorConfig properties to use the current formatting style (with a few improvements) present throughout ChiraEngine.

The editorconfig file should be sufficient for this honestly, autoformatters usually suck
