My ideas: Javascript: braces should be on their own lines whenever possible lines should not be longer than 80 characters When creating objects, use closures to hide as much object data as possible camel-case all identifiers operators should have one space on either side indentation is to be done with tab characters (reccommend width of 4 characters to ease reading and staying under the 80 character limit) The global scope is not to be used except for our top-level object "dd" Everything should be a subelement of dd. HTML: No javascript code should be present in an .html file. put them in their own files javascript files should be included through script tags at the bottom of the html page. CSS: Every attribute should be on it's own line.
compound attributes are allowed. No spaces between attribute names, ":", values, and ";" { / } on their own lines

Javascript files should be included in the tag as is common convention. No javascript is run outside of what begins inside the window.onload() function to ensure everything has loaded first.

No block-level or inline elements outside of (this means we have to move your "Press arrow keys to move" into the )

All code blocks should have curly braces, including what would normally be short-ifs and next-line functions.

e.g., if (x=1) { x++; }
