My coding style

For my years of programming in different language I sort of got a coding style in different language that I more or less follows. The problem is that I'm not really so consistent with it.

Defining a scope

For Languages that uses Brackets {} or something similar to define their scope, the opening bracket should be on the same line as the definition and the closing bracket should be on a separate line.

for instance:

	...	

bool move(double x, double y){
    if(x - y < 0){
        x = y;
		return false;
    }
    y = x;
	return true;
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
	...

but, if the conditional statement before is on multiple line then the openning bracket should be on a new line. This help differientiate between the condition and the actual scope

for instance:

	...	

boolean move(Vec2 position){
    if(position.blocked &&
        position.empty &&
        something.else())
    {
        position.setPos(x, y); 
		return false;
    }
	this.position = position;
	return true;
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
	...
