It'll be interesting to watch unfold... And oh yeah...Java's awesome!

I am too concerned on small matters ignoring the actual "game" part in my little project. So, what happens? I actually get to do small increments on the engine, ignoring the fact that in itself it is not enough, and that nobody actually uses an engine just for the engine's purpose. Yup, working on the engine is more fun than working on the actual game, especially when you don't know what the heck you are doing :) I am guilty since I am making the same mistakes as many others before me… I am too concerned on small matters ignoring the actual “game” part in my little project.
