Question about :: command.

[L.W. Flouisa]

I pretty much know what puts, print, global/instance/regular variables, if/else, when, and case are.

But what does :: mean? Is this Ruby's way of pointing you to a specific section of the code? The first instance I've seen it is for something like RUBYGAME::HWSURFACE.

I know typing in include Rubygame makes you able to avoid the need for said command.
