first off, great job as always (i'm a true fan!)

but i suggest to delve deeper into "random" numbers generation via the % operator ... there's a problem with lower bits being far from random.

I'm having trouble with my coordinate generation function. The first time I use it, it generates a random number. After that, the coordinates go in a diagonal line until they hit the edge of the screen and then it appears at the opposite side of the screen. What could I be doing wrong?

Why use enums?

don't they take up a bit of RAM and do the same thing as #define wich uses 0 RAM?

maybe i'm missing something :P

Enums are pretty. :D

That's about it. I like making random datatypes for "Direction", "GameState", etc.

WOW, they take up tons of RAM on your XT computer. :P

Enumerations automatically initialize all the stuff they contain with an increasing value each time. So first will be one, second will be 2 and so on.

This is usefull when you just want any old intialized value.

What does unsigned do?
I haven't found anything that covers it... ):

Well there's a limit on what an integer can be; only so many bits can be stored in a computer, right? Normally this is -INTMAX to +INTMAX

If it's "unsigned", that means it's positive only, so it doubles how large it can be since it doesn't have an amount for the - numbers.

Enumerations aren't popular. :(
