Should variables always be lowercase?
If so, that might explain why I’m having some issues here and there.
Absolutely not, however variables are case sensitive. So $name and $Name are different variables. I’ve found helpful to adopt a strict rule: I always capitalize the first letter of story variables, I separate each word with a ‘_’, and I use only lower case for temporary variables. Exemples : _choice, $Name, $Friend_name.
Of course you don’t have to establish such a rule, but if you plan to use many variables it might be easier in the long term.
