What's on your mind?

ok hi everyone!
as you may (probably not) know. Lunarberry and I are both working on a game and also trying to learn XP scripting
after reading this front to back http://www.rpg-maker.fr/dl/monos/aide/xp...index.html
along with over 40ish more articles we decided to just chat about what we see the symbols and terms DO to a script because we both couldent understand much of it
so in laymans terms I'm going to post up our
W.I.P XP Scripting Cheat Sheet of What Things Do and Mean
{{ things in [italics] is Lunarberry's comments while things in (bold) is Siletrea's comments}}
Symbols
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# - used to ignore the line of text after it example: #this line wont affect script
* - multiplication symbol
$ - may be used to show a oversized or undersized item like a pic or sprite?
" " - use to show text ...example: "hello" also used in lists ["milk","eggs","bread"]
( ) - used to show things like text or pictures
[ ] - used to make a list or to list off things like [milk,eggs,bread]
{ } - used in math based shit
@ - might be something specific?
! - importaint stuff?
\ - is apparently used?
/ - is apparently used?
Terms
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
instant variable - something that may or does vary or change instantly or right away.
(may do something may be random?)
[it either might or will change, but right away]
variable - something that may or does vary or change
(says its changing stuff?)
[It might or will change or what you were saying in the above description the only difference
in this and the above is this isn't time based]
class - a group, set, or kind sharing common attributes
(or features) or in programming, a group of objects with the same properties and behaviors and
that is arranged in a hierarchy with other such data types.
(difference between art class and math class?)
[correct]
(yay)
member variable - a group with the same or similar feature/attribute that may or does change.
(art class but with clay models?)
[more like changes from the same or similar situation. Such as how all creatures are born, some
are born from eggs, birthed, and splitting parts of themselves, etc. The same feature they all
have is being born, but they do it differently.]
instantiated - to provide an instance of or concrete evidence in support of
(a theory, concept, claim, or the like). Though I think the author more means the definition
instant (shown below).
(yeah sure I still don't get it)
[by the earlier definition, it would mean giving evidence in support of a claim, but I think the
author actually meant being instant]
Instant/Instance - immediate, right away.
(makes sence)
Subclass - a secondary or subordinate class.
(optional classes like cooking class?)
[more like how you thought member variable is. An art class is general and covers everything art,
but more specific areas that branch from it (or sub) is like painting, sculpting, etc.]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
that is all we got...corrections in laymans terms are MORE then allowed
