Hello guys/gals

I'm trying desperatley go get a grip of DB, im a complete n00b and so i bought the book to help me...everynow and then i get to a point where hes discussing some comman or whatever which is ok..but in his programs he usualy has other stuff going on that just isnt explained...im sure this is obvious to most of u but please tell me..

at the start when hes defining all his speeds, why is the border = 25????? is border an actual comand or has he defined a string/variable? and if so 25 what? 25 pixels from the edge of the screen. the border he later draws..

Anyway dont laugh and please help a poor n00b

cheers

I wouldn't be so paranoid if people would just stop looking at me!

Its a variable and the value is in pixels. Here is a slightly better commented version.
