2D Game Space.

This example illustrates 2D Game Space, position, and the x and y variables.

Instructions

Use the arrow keys to move the black pixel.

Notice that :

• x increases when the pixel moves right
• x decreases when the pixel moves left

• y increases when the pixel moves down
• y decreases when the pixel moves up

• You can move the pixel outside of the screen.
• If you move the pixel past the top edge of the window , the y becomes negative.
• If you move the pixel past the left side of the window, the x becomes negative

Note that a view has been used to make the pixel big enough to see. The only important part of this example is understanding 2D game space.
