Now lets say you write your letters kind of fat and to write one letter on the piece of paper, it will occupy 2 squares. That means you can have 80x25 letters on this paper. Now lets say we give this paper axises. X goes across and Y goes down. Now lets say I want you to draw a letter at coordinate 10,5. But instead of counting 10 squares across and 5 down, just count each individual square. Remember that 1 letter = 2 squares. So you would count to 1610 and make your letter (cause our formula is Offset(1610)=Y * 160 + X * 5).
Now what I'm trying to do is opposite. What if I said, make a letter at offet 1610. Would you count 1610 spaces? the 1610th space is 10 boxes over and 5 down. Does this make sense?
