I realize that that&#8217;s what I used last time, and failed measurably. I recently discovered about hot-code replace in eclipse, so that excites me. I just have to remember to keep things SUPER SIMPLE. I&#8217;m fairly confident with my Java and Slick2D skills so it should be pretty fun.<\/p>","time":"December 15th, 2011 11:49 pm","title":"Switchin\u2019 Tools Mate!"}
