[SUGGESTION] Built-in tutorials. Make the names of different things more distinguishable! #10

Hey, dear Devs! Really like the engine, just started to explore it with my "beginner" skills in programming. I am currently at tutorial 5, "Clolorslide tutorial", and finding myself lost in all these different things, objects, messages, variables and assets. Different things with all the same name!

Take a look at this example: the name of "level_1" is everywhere in this tutorial, lots of different components use this exact naming! On this step, where I have to learn using messages, UI interactions and object mechanics, I literally get lost, because everything is called the same way. It is bad idea for me to not follow the task and name the things my way, because I have to learn how engine works here.

Please, make these names more diverse and distinguishable, to make it easier to understand, which of "level_1" is called right now and to what exactly "level_1" it is related. Of course, this particular name is just an example, but you probably got my point.

Thank you!

Thank you for the feedback! It's a good point you make and something we could look into. The Colorslide tutorial is here: https://github.com/defold/tutorial-colorslide so I'll transfer the issue to that repository.
