coordinates.

Coordinates
Coordinates are very important in programming. They give the location on the screen in length of pixels. The picture (see above) shows game maker's coordinates and angles of direction.

You need to get comfortable with the coordinates. This only comes from working with them a lot. Because of the human learning curve, experience gives knowledge.
I have been making games for one year, and now I can track a location on the screen quickly.

Direction is simple, up = 90, down = 270, right = 0, left = 180. The more you use it the better you get. (see above)
