I couldn't get used to that form yet. getNumberOfEnemiesOnSamePlatform() is imperative, while numberOfEnemiesOnSamePlatform() is not. I think it's because I'm not a native English speaker, but the get version sounds like 'give me that value' to me, which would make sense. Usually, my function names are imperative (often with the exception of event handling functions) and that feels more natural to me. I'll do some research on the topic, though. There's a presentation where someone explains it, but I couldn't follow last time.
