**Note about variable scope in functions:**
Functions can access "global" variables declared outside of the function's scope. However, they cannot change the value of any "global" variables.
Any changes to "global" variables will only be applied locally to the function. This also means that any variable that is first defined inside a
function will NOT be accessible outside of the function.

<p>Defining a function does not create a Javascript function object in the underlying game code. This means that you cannot use any function
you create in functions such as <a class="reference external" href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/sort">Array.sort()</a> (not yet at least, I'll try to make it work in the future).</p>
