Yeah - I suppose you are right - that's why I need help to learn faster 
- there's lots of tutorials/books out there but they either assume 
you're a genius or all you want to do is create and object called ball 
and give it a width and a height.

Although - last night I finally found a tutorial which explained some 
stuff about classes really well:

http://www.gotoandlearn.com/ (Using Custom Classes)

don't know if you lot have seen these already - but they are all good 
tutorials.
