Hi,
enumerations or short enum are a collection of numbered literal constants.

Just like

const MY_CONST = 234

but enums are defiened differently

enum {TILE_BRICK, TILE_WATER, TILE_SKY}

then TILEBRICK would be 0 TILEWATER = 1 and so on

If you would want more structured code you can do 

enum tiles {TILE_BRICK, TILE_WATER, TILE_SKY}

Then tiles.TILE_BRICK would be 0 etc.

and since they are constant they are static too
MyCustomClass.tiles.TILE_BRICK is also accessible

I could do it with the body entered signal of an area to detect when there is something over this?

How do we know enums are static? I can make another question if need be.
