Ok so if you have your black box check this out...
resize your window so that its really wide and not too tall
then, resize it so it's really tall but really skinny.
do you see how it resizes the rectangle?
the black rectangle is just the area that no matter how the browser window
is sized, will be visible.
when you put it there and then make sure everything is inside of it, it
means that everything you draw will always be visible by everyone.
the black rectangle doesnt make that happen, it just is there to show the
"visible area" if you get what i mean.
there is a way to change how big that "always visible" rectangle is, but i
dont know how unfortunately ):
