We cover constructor vs initialize, game loops, fixed vs variable step and more.

I was a bit distracted by company on this tutorial, so there is some noise in the background and my mind was a bit more scattergun than normal. If I stopped making sense at one point, I apologize and recommend you check out the written companion tutorial, as it may make more sense!
Stay tuned for the next part on graphics available shortly!
