X and Y

Every position on the canvas has a number.

• x is right and left.
• y is up and down.
• If you want to move right, increase x.
• If you want to move left, decrease x.
• If you want to move up, increase y.
• If you want to move down, decrease y.

Understanding how the coordinate grid works is all great and wonderful, but we probably want to use it to place stuff, right?

Once we have a feel for how the grid works, it probably makes sense to look at how to move our sprites around—using code!
