I do think I get now, how the code is calling upon data from an array, but I yet do not see where the code descriminates between 0's and 1's ever. I took out that piece of code and it acted as I suspected, except I didn't know if the pixel character was going to be in front of or behind the background. I also see how the box character is too small to pass through other objects in the world, though.

I am starting to see how the computer tends to connect this idea corresponding to an array, as in the Types included in the IF statement, FLOOR(PLX/8) and FLOOR(PLY/8) might be refering to a position on an axis, but then to completely understand the idea I think I'd have to know how that place is being translated into the result of the stored arrays - in this case MAP(32/24) -AND THEN I would have to make the jump to the idea that the IF statement is automatically assuming that if the result is 1, as in true, then the code functions in the manner that it is suggesting.
