๐Ÿ“š Quick Study Guide

  • ๐Ÿ“ฆ What are Variables? Variables are like containers that hold information in a game. Think of them as labeled boxes where you can store numbers, words, or true/false values.
  • ๐Ÿท๏ธ Giving Variables Names: You give each variable a name so you can easily find and use the information inside. Good variable names should describe what's being stored (e.g., `playerScore`, `enemyHealth`).
  • ๐Ÿ”ข Types of Data: Variables can store different types of data:
    • Numbers (e.g., `playerScore = 100`)
    • Text/Strings (e.g., `playerName = "Alice"`)
    • True/False values (e.g., `isGameOver = false`)
  • โž• Changing Variable Values: You can change the value of a variable during the game. For example, you can increase the `playerScore` when they collect a coin.
  • ๐Ÿ•น๏ธ Using Variables in Games: Variables help keep track of important things like player health, score, time, and whether the game is over.
