PBG's ADVENTURE! (Yeah!)

Ok, so, what is the reasoning for listing the variables at the top after the word "short"?

Code:

short hp, maxhp, maxHeartsPerRow, i;
    short cellX, cellY, cellPixelWidth, cellPixelHeight;
    short wholeHeartSpriteID, emptyHeartSpriteID;

Is this setting variables or...?

Also, what would I replace cellX/cellY, cellPixelWidth/height with? Or should I replace them at all?
