But they&#8217;re easy enough to continue making if I feel like continuing<\/li>\n <li>I never had any time to implement any sounds, not even simply ones from BFXR like I planned<\/li>\n <li>When I went to upload, the jar simply would not work. Turns out I had an extra slash when loading images, which Eclipse was fine with, but windows was not \ud83d\ude1b<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <p><strong>Final Thoughts<\/strong><br \/>\n I had a lot of fun. It was great sitting down and coding and watching my game come together so quickly. I&#8217;m only in grade 12 and just finished my Computer Science course last semester, and the game I made for that took forever to get through. Admittedly, it had a lot more but this is still a full game and really well done (in my opinion) for my first java game outside of school.<br \/>\n If you&#8217;d like to play, the link is here:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-26\/?action=preview&amp;uid=5827\">http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-26\/?action=preview&amp;uid=5827<\/a><br \/>\n And I have a couple screenshots below <img src=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-includes\/images\/smilies\/simple-smile.png\" alt=\":)\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em; max-height: 1em;\" \/><\/p>\n <p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/screen55.png\"><img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-249816\" alt=\"screen\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/screen55-300x225.png\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/screen55-300x225.png 300w, http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/screen55-550x412.png 550w, http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/screen55.png 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a> \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/screen225.png\"><img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-249902\" alt=\"screen2\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/screen225-300x225.png\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/screen225-300x225.png 300w, http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/screen225-550x412.png 550w, http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/screen225.png 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>","time":"April 29th, 2013 7:32 am","title":"Lead the Bunny!
