In Ask HN: What's the most elegant piece of code you've seen?Doom 3 was touted[1] as having some "exceptional beauty." Naming, spacing of properties, consistency, and how multiple parameterized calls were formatted are quite nice. You can see an example on github[2], but for some reason the spacing is a bit off in the web view. I'd recommend cloning a local copy and taking a look.
