Theme: Alternate universe spinoff of a major franchise<\/strong><\/p>\n

Heh, well the “major franchise” part is a stretch, but franchise yes. ;). The universe is one without color.<\/p>\n

Limitations: Framerate cap at 5fps<\/strong><\/p>\n

No problem. I have a platform in mind where that’s actually impossible.<\/p>\n

Rule: Use a tool\/language you have never used before<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well technically I have used Java before (J2ME), but that was 7 years ago, and I hated every minute of it. This is Java PBP 1.1, and while I’m not quite hating every minute of it, I am clumsy and moving dog-slow (like anyone using a new language would be).<\/p>\n

So what did I do?<\/p>\n
