Axis

Definition: Simply a term used to indicate an imaginary line around which something rotates. In video games, the X axis and Y axis settings determine how fast something will move, X being left to right, and Y being up and down.
Examples: Simply adjust the X Axis and your character will move to the left and right quicker.
