 * This is version 2 of this tutorial. Version 1 was released back in August 2016, but it caused a lot of people to lose their shit and give up on the awesomeness that is C++, so Chili remade it. It's now over twice as long, and jam packed full of juicy knowledge, with a liberal smattering of memes as well.

-In Part 1 at 6:00 there is a mistake in the diagram where Chili shows the concept of animation from one frame to the next. The "frame 2": "draw 2nd object" (blue triangle) should have the blue triangle drawn to the right as it is shown in "draw 3rd object".

+* In Part 3 when we make the <code>gb</code> variable a member variable, it will maintain its value from frame to frame. So if we don't reset it every frame, then the first time we press CTRL and set it to 255, it will forever after be stuck at 255, which is probably not desired behavior. ;)

 A: We achieve movement of the reticle by making the variables <code>x</code> and <code>y</code> member variables of <code>class Game</code>. In doing so, we no longer lose the values of these variables from frame to frame (when they are local variables, they are destroyed after exiting the <code>ComposeFrame()</code> function, i.e. after each frame).
