X and Y animations to help eliminate confusion

[+Random Terrain]

Sometimes I and others forget what X and Y stand for, so I made a couple of animated GIFs that I hope will help and put them on my version of the bB page:

Now do Z!

I got your Z right here. I'll just pull it out so you can get a good look at it:

I can never remember left and right, so I keep marbles in left pocket and coins in my right. Then, when I have to walk, I just say, "marbles, coins, marbles, coins..."

I can never remember left and right, so I keep marbles in left pocket and coins in my right. Then, when I have to walk, I just say, "marbles, coins, marbles, coins..."

But how can you be *sure* that the marbles are in your left pocket, and the coins are in your right pocket?

 

Left and right is all just a conspiracy, anyway. If I look at you and say, "You have a spot of mustard in the left corner of your mouth," why do you stick your tongue out and lick at the *right* corner of your mouth? Left is the new right, up is the new down, and bad is the new good. Okay, bad has been the new good for a long time. But new is the new old.

Great idea! I do forget sometimes especially when I'm in the middle of making something and have a lot of stuff to worry about getting to work in my game.
