i do agree with you CS_TBL with personal projects. but as far as looking at tuts and examples ( more importantly the ones targeted for beginners), i find it easier to understand if the vars are descriptive especialy if theres more then a page of code to look through.
again were talking about beginners not someone who has a great deal of programing experience. once they've got the basics down, then they can work on a more structured and organized approach.
edit:
you don't need Global ThisVarIsForTheXPositionOfThePlayer#
but instead use Global PlayerX#
then later when the person has more understanding, and understands types, the PlayerX# var will migrate to x# within in the type.
its about teaching and understanding. code targeted for more advanced things can and should be simplfied to the later. because in most cases the ones to look at those examples will or should have a better grasp at the basics.
beginners shouldn't even look at the more advanced topics until they understand the basics, except to maybe peek their curiousty. but in the long run it would just leave them confused and frustrated.
