We need to establish some basic conventions when writing our code so it all looks complete. Here are a few proposals...

Constant values should always be in all caps. I feel like this is a standard across most programming languages.
Camel-case for Resource names (i.e. Objects, Rooms, Sprites, etc.) and underscore for variable names. The main reason is because this is consistent with Game Maker's naming conventions.

Thoughts?

Yep, totally agree, it's how I handled my last project as well 👍

As talked about on Discord:

Hungarian Notation + _ + Name of Resource When dealing with resources

Snake Case When dealing with variables in code
