+====== RaycastHit2D ======
+==== Implicit Bool Casting Magic ====
 ''RaycastHit2D'' can be used in an if statement to tell if the raycast hit anything, or if it hit nothing.
+This is because C# has the ability to do implied type conversions, and Unity has made it so RaycastHit2D can be converted to a bool. Pretty cool.
 Example:
-<code>
+<code c#>
 RaycastHit2D hit = Physics2D.Raycast(someStartPoint, someDirection);
@@ Line 8: / Line 13: @@
     Debug.Log("yaaay I hit something!");
 }
+</code>
+This is also valid:
+<code c#>
+RaycastHit2D hit = Physics2D.Raycast(someStartPoint, someDirection);
+bool rayHitSomthing = hit;
 </code>
