I ran across this in a example, but I am not for sure what it does. Have heard it called "Fold Code" at the beginning. The coder placed constants in its set up. I tried to find it in the docs (maybe just missed it). My question is what is the Fold used for?

it's only to allow this portion of code to be folded (hidden) in the IDE

See your post in this thread? Your question? The code section is hidden and only shows if you click on the "+" char. This is code folding. But in the AppGameKit case it is simply "folded" within the IDE.

That's handy! I knew about the pluses that fold blocks in the IDE but didn't realise we could add them ourselves.

I wish the IDE would remember what was folded when the files were saved and refold when you open the project again.

how about a quick and dirty FoldstartClosed feature request?

So all it is a way to remove some of the display clutter, got it. Did not know that, thanks.

this works also, you can fold with one click sub folders.

jumphere: appear in symbol list at labels, its usefully if you work on some code parts, you can jump to this place with a click if sourcecode is open.

@Markus, thanks for sharing. Something else I didn't know that could turn in handy. I knew about labels for goto's but didn't know they appeared in a list that make it easier to jump to in the IDE.
