-Every object understands the message ''new'', which creates a clone (a shallow copy) of the receiver object and initializes the clone by invoking its ''init'' method with the arguments that were passed to new (''aX'' and ''aY'' in the example code). Hence, the ''init'' method plays the role of "constructor" for AmbientTalk objects. Hence, in the code above, ''anotherPoint'' shares its methods with its ''Point'' prototype, but it has its own set of fields:
