0:00 Hello! Let's talk more about variables!
0:18 What are we trying to make?
0:52 What are the steps to making a variable?
1:12 Step 1: Declare
3:01 Step 2: Initialize
4:21 Step 3: Use
5:03 Let's add the code!
5:49 Combining declaration and initialization.
6:43 What is a global variable?
7:31 But the circle isn't moving! How can we fix that?
9:19 How can we make it interactive?
9:50 What's next?
