While pixels are only used in reference to video displays, this same concept has
many applications. Think of drawing a picture by only tapping the point of a pencil
on the paper. Each dot represents one pixel used by a video display to show the line.
You might have to tap 50 dots to make a line one inch long. The resolution of this
line is said to be 50
dots per inch (dpi).
The higher the dpi, the higher the resolution.

set, the work needed to complete the game can begin.
