Re: Quick question on readability

To toggle indicators I use:
indicator = not indicator;

to store the result of a comparation I often use:
var1 = var2 = var3;
Even if I realize that some people may get cofused (not somebody who 
knows well RPG). The meaning is quiete clear only if the name of var1 is 
evidently an indicator and var2 var3 are data.
