The presentation is very lacking so it's understandable that you didn't know what to do.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>You're supposed to be picking out monsters that you see from out your window. At the end it's revealed that you are the biggest monster, since you were actually sniping the monsters, so this basic little game actually does follow the theme, if not at first glance :p\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Thanks again!"},{"author_name":"Dejvo","author_uid":"49267","time":"Sep 1, 2015 @ 11:23am","epoch":1441106280,"text":"A for effort i guess...

I couldn't see any of the icons that are shown in the screenshot, probably because of my computer\/java versions. If you are looking at doing gamedev with java I'd strongly suggest finding a good library such as LWJGL (what my team uses), JFrames tend to be a little glitchy for graphics. Congrats on trying something new, we hope to see you again in future Ludum Dares!"}],"images":["ld33\/30054-065024b90826c1d8e657d7ab98145974.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/s\/k1cmsile7jd5xs9\/LD33%20-%20Out%20the%20Window%20%28Compo%29.zip?dl=0","text":"JAR and source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"9284","g_author":"30054","g_event":"LD33","g_eventkey":"29","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"9317","g_title":"Out the Window","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"99999","g_commentcount":"9","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/479518\/30054-shot0-1440381164.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Instructions:\r\n\r\n1.
