Words, numbers, and yes-or-no answers

Choose useful types for your game's values.

A type tells Yeho what kind of value belongs in a name. Think about the thing you are describing: a character name is text, a life count is a whole number, movement speed may need a fraction, and a pause switch is yes or no. You can build a lot with text, int, float, and bool. There are more precise number types in the reference, but you do not need to memorize them to make your first game.
