HI, I am in Lesson 3 I think and am trying to change the shape of the pixels from the retinal to whatever and was wondering which coordinate system I should use? OK that's all. :D

2R ( 2D ) Y increases going down the screen, X increases going right.

You're welcome. The screen coordinates will mess with your head for a bit if you're use to Cartesian coordinates. You'll see/hear chili get confused throughout the tutorials so no one is immune.
