3) Graphics don't cause lag. Graphics cause FPS stuttering. And I'm not even going to waste the time pointing out the failure of that common misconception.

It's a tile editor. How much graphic work can I really do to it? I don't really understand what you are talking about at all, and I suspect you really don't either. No offense, or maybe I just missed something.

And Ghost pirate, I'm considering it. I'm strongly leaning toward yes. I could have sworn Stefan Knorr wrote a Java Gani editor sometime after they released Graal 2001... Or it may have been after Classic's world closed to player submissions, and had to be massively cleaned up again... (I don't really remember...) As another thought, wasn't Graal Classic fully written in Java back in the day? I remember Zelda Online was a dinky little browser applet, and then they figured out application development after a while... =/

I dunno, I was too young at the time. Anyway, back to the coal mine...
:/

1.) I know Java. I use Java on a regular basis. I know how Java works, what it can do, and why it can do that. I know how portable it is, because I've written complex cross-platform applications in it.
2.) That IDE looks very similar to Netbeans, so that's why I said so. Now that I look at it, it doesn't seem to be.
3.) Graphics can cause substantial lag if used improperly. Sheer number of graphic operations per paint round can cause a lot of lag also.

I understand that it's a tile editor, and I was making a small joke. If you can't understand that, then don't bother getting upset about it. I also suggest that you do not imply that I know nothing about Java when you know nothing of me.

Also, Don't think that I'm a novice programmer just because I'm 15. If you can't handle that, then oh damn well.
