	Intended for the editing of icon states and icons, it is accessed when you open a ".dmi" file. It displays a list of all the sprites (often called icon states) which are in the file. Rightclicking anywhere will yield the options to create a new movie or pixmap. A pixmap is a static image, while a movie is either an icon state which can point in several different directions (often called dirs) or is animated. The movie can have either 1 (south), 4 (NSEW) or 8 directions (full compass). Also note that a .dmi file may only have icons of a certain size. In the case of the singularity~~, which grows as it gains power~~, several .dmi files are needed.		Intended for the editing of icon states and icons, it is accessed when you open a ".dmi" file.

	If you wish to store a coin in somewhere in the variables of an object and use the coin's defined procs or variables, you'll have to define the variable in which you store the coin as a coin. The second example also creates a variable called D and sets it to a new coin.

	The double == is used to compare two values. It's most commonly used in the if statement. In the example above you can see we compared the variable a to 14 (a == 14).
