Subject: newbie help : Ruby Processin

Hello, Looking at the code in the attached file can someone please
explain to me in simple terms why in the method
------------------------------------------------------
class Example81 < Processing::App
def setup
    size screen.width/2, screen.height/2
    #Initialize car object
    @my_car = Car.new(self)
   end
------------------------------------------------------
why is 'self' is passed as a parameter also why does the initializer for
the Car class look like this?
------------------------------------------------------
class Car #define a class below the rest of the program

  def initialize(app)
------------------------------------------------------

I understand that 'self' refers to the current object and objects use
them to call methods defined within themselves.

Please see the attachement for a better picture of the context of the
code

Thanks

 JD
