No, the two equates above just assign names to memory addresses.
If you store something to var, it will be stored in the RAM at address
$80. If you store something to var2, it will be stored in address $82.
This helps you to keep your code more readable. Let's say you want to
keep track of how many lives a player has left. Then you could do
Lives = $80
When a player loses a life you can simply do 'dec Lives' instead of
'dec $80'. You don't have to remember that address $80 contains
the number of lives.
