so if, let's say the pizza height is 60(pixels). multiplying it by 1.3
gives me 78. dividing it by Pizza.speed seems pointless as Pizza.speed
is 1, and i will get 78 again. then adding one makes it 79.
Caveat: This is a guess since as you say we can't see the full code and
don't know for sure what height refers to.
What I think the author is saying is that before releasing a new pizza
the previous one must be fully clear(ie its full height) plus some
clearance(a buffer) and in this case its about 30% Thus the first pizza
must travel 130% of its height before we are safe to release the next
pizza without the images overlapping.
For a 60px pizza that means a gap of 79 pixels approx.
