Hi, Yeah, I see your point, but at the time I was testing Java the Genesis Engine wasn't that far a long in development so there wasn't all that much to rewrite to begin with. It took me a month and a half to put it together, test it, and find out I didn't want to do that. Since it took me nearly four months to get the new C++ engine done there was obviously a great deal more to do, and what we have is about 75% done. However, on the bright side of this once the new engine is finished, debugged, etc I'll have a rock solid tool to use for future game development. Instead of two years I should be putting out games every six months or so since the core engine will be done. So at this point the added lag time is just getting the new engine fully up and running, and after that adding new levels etc is the easy part.
