Gosu character set and case sensitivity

Because Gosu runs within a JVM, Gosu shares the same 16-bit Unicode character set as Java. By supporting this character set, your Gosu code can represent virtually any character in any human language.

The Gosu language is case sensitive. Write all Gosu as case-sensitive code matching the declaration of the language element. For example, if a type is declared as MyClass, you cannot use the type as myClass or myclass.

There are standard conventions for how to capitalize different language elements. For example, local method names have an initial lowercase letter. Type names, including class names have an initial uppercase letter.
