- Index
In this book, you will find a number of styles of text that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles, and an explanation of their meaning.
Code words in text are shown as follows: "The timer.performWithDelay pattern is probably a familiar one."
A block of code is set as follows:
self.World:addEventListener('Death', self)
self.World:addEventListener('Despawn', self)
self:addEventListener('Game', self.World)When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block such as distinguishing code being added, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:
self.ScoreTotal = 0 self.StartingCount = 1 self.Count = self.StartingCount
New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, in menus or dialog boxes for example, appear in the text like this: "clicking the Next button moves you to the next screen".
