    Thank You! I'm going to be a freshman at a 4 year for Comp Sci in just a few weeks. Won't have to be 100% self-taught anymore.

    Cool! I'm not really privy to disclose my age, but I'm quite young. I've been self taught for (I think) about 4 years now, and I feel your pain (referring to the posts on JGameGUI).

    I've been looking at colleges and going, "I'm not going to actually learn anything until the 3rd year. Why...?"

    I hope I can test out of some college Comp Sci classes :\

    I was looking at a college and it wasn't teaching OOP until year 2 I think. It's so painful.

    I get some OOP year 1, but it's algorithmic design. The big O from hell.

    I'm surprised there aren't more people from our generation that are into computer programming. It's so interesting!

    On a side note, any tips on creating GUI menus for Bukkit plugins? I've done then multiple times before but they're never pretty in the code. I ask because I noticed your Punishment GUI plugin, and it looks like it does it decently well.

    Granted, it hasn't gotten a lot of use, so I haven't had the desire to get all the kinks out of it. Plus, a lot of things are missing from the material list.

    Oh yeah, forgot about that!

    The only thing I have to say about that is it's possible for another plugin or a player to make an inventory with the same name as yours, which confuses it. I have yet to figure out a better way to compare inventories though, except for adding a unique series of color codes to the start of the name like "&a&d&f&5&3"

    if I remember correctly, that has a severe issue. if more than one plugin uses it, it crashes.

    Huh, interesting.
    Oh yeah... I just looked at the src and it has a static final instance of the MenuListener class, meaning that it'll only work for one plugin :\

    Too bad, it looked really interesting!

    Based on what you said earlier, do you not like writing algorithms?

    I'd be happy to give you a hand. I LOVE making APIs.

    OH MY GOSH SAY THAT AGAIN.
    I THOUGHT I'D NEVER FIND ANOTHER INSANE WIERD PERSON LIKE ME. APIZZZ :D

    I'd LOVE to have help with it! Just warning you, it will probably need a good bit of re-writing.
