    "I don't even code why am I watching Daniel Shiffman code space invaders?"

    yeah.

    lol 😀 I'm learning Visual C# and I still understand everything he writes in JavaScript. Nice videos.

    What do you keep hitting when you walk from the green screen to the Whiteboard? Is it a button to change cameras?

    Your videos are great. I'm learning to code now and these are the most immersive videos I have found so far.

    Here's the meaning of the different equals sign operators:

    x = y assign to x the value of y

    x == y compare and return true if and only if the two have the same value (but not necessarily the same data type, try to convert them to the same type if possible

    x === y return true if and only if the two are identical and have the same data type.

    Obviously, the === comparison is more strict, while the == comparison allows you to be sloppy:

    "2" == 2 // true
    "2" === 2 // false

    false == 0 // true
    false === 0 // false

    okay i encounter with some problems, and i solved some of them. Im using bracket(i think it may lead some problems but im not sure ) .
    First problem was in the flower tab,
    function Flower(x, y){
    this.x = x;
    this.y = y;
    … } did not work so i did this
    function Flower(_x, _y){
    this.x = _x;
    this.y = _y; } it work okay.
    Second one was copying these lines of codes for 'drop' tab, it did not work again. so i chanced the values again
    function Drop(_a, _b){
    this.x = _a;
    this.y = _b; } and it did work.
    My first question is why x and y values didnt work like in the video?

    Untill the creating ''hits'' function, everything went well,
    i got the logic behind this code. But i couldnt get the parameter part.
    we created drop after flower. In sketch.js
    var ship;
    var flowers = [];
    var drops = [];
    for (var j = 0; j < flowers.length; j++) {
    if (drops[i].hits(flowers[j])) {
    }
    that s how we describe the objects and the function(hits) okay, but while we creating the function 'hits' we write

    this.hits = function(flower) {
    var d = dist(this.x, this.y, flower.x, flower.y);
    if (d < this.r + flower.r) {
    return true;
    } else {
    return false;
    }
    }
    I actually couldnt understand this one because , there is no such thing called 'flower' in the program. Only the script'name is flower.js , and while we creating the flower tab we write exatcly like this :function Flower(x, y) {
    this.x = x;
    this.y = y;
    this.r = 30;
    }
    So how is this work? What i am trying to ask where did the "flower" come from? I am trying to do this exercise step by step and at this point it doesnt work and im stucked.

    Thanks for the video and everything, i learned a lot. You are the best.

    I love your channel. One of the best programming channels I've came across.

    what you could've done was:
    When the drop entered the flower and stayed in it for 15 unites, have the drop take 15 dmg… But if the drop was in there for 14 units or less, the flower wouldn't "die" you know? for example a flower is 15×15 as a circle, but if you hit the side of the flower meaning 3 unites or 7 unites it does that much dmg… So 2 hits on the side would kill it…. or almost but anyways, I hope you get my point! that'd be cool. Or a chunk calls off the flower.

    I don't understand the difference between 5 == "5" and 5 === "5"
