Types, room.chair

Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Beginners Area/Types, room.chair

Right, I have been programmign in Blitz3D for years now, and use types quite often. I understand how to use them, but always had a question, and maybe I am missing something.

In example used in the doc's is:

room.chair = New chair

What is the first 'chair' for? Why didn't mark make blitz do:

room = New chair

being, make a new type of chair in the room list.
