Dict is storing coordinates where your arrow will be placed on
specific location.
menuscreen.blit(arrow,arrowpos[counter])
so if counter is = 0 then arrowpos[counter] will be whatever key 0 is
assigned to. in example will be (20,20)
result:
menuscreen.blit(arrow,(20,20))
With each up or down press value will change accordingly, dictionary
is just a storage here.
