Some basics before you head over to S-1:
in Luau when you want to write a comment you do so through the use of a double dash, a comment is something that the compiler doesn't read, it's useful for leaving a note to yourself such as "this bit codes for swimming".
A multi line comment is a comment that spans over multiple lines through a double dash and a double square bracket, as without this, going to the next line would automatically stop being a comment. If you also select a bunch of code and hit Ctrl + / , every selected line will become a comment, you repeat this to undo this action.
Variable Naming Rules:
Variables can only start with letters A-Z or underscores, they cannot start with numbers, you are free to use numbers after the first character
Variables cannot be Luau reserved words such as: function , if , true , then , end , local etc
Variables are case sensitive so "dog" is not the same variable as "Dog"
type local before naming your variable, as without this it becomes a global variable which can create problems if not intentional
Naming convention:
camelCase = first letter of first word isn't capital, all subsequent words start with capitalised letter, this is what you should be using most frequently
PascalCase = used for class names in lesson S-10 (more advanced topic)
snake_case = used for settings or as a substitute to camelCase if you wish ( player_base_health = 100 )
SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE = used for global constants as well as values which are not to be ever changed ( INITIAL_LEVEL = 1 )
