200+, 263-... what does it mean?

The numbers themselves aren't that great. If you add them together, you get -63. But what do these numbers mean exactly when I say that I "made a 200+, 263- commit" to Xsera? Quite literally, it means that I added 200 lines of code and removed 263. While this is a good sized commit, it's nothing worth bragging about, exactly. The numbers don't mean that much - I could write 1000 meaningless lines of code, and it would be awesome to say that I committed 1000+, but that's not progress for the project.

What you'll find far more interesting is what appeared in the new 200 lines of code, and what disappeared in the 263. Well, I totally recreated Xsera's colour system (yeah, Alistair's got me using 'colour' instead of 'color'). What does this mean? Nothing absolutely groundbreaking, but it does mean that everything will eventually look a lot more Ares-like, colour-wise.
