mmmm java

Just finished my second java homework assignment. Wahooo! Tell me what you think!?

Note: it assumes some user intellegence on input

looks intersting but I haven't finished reading everything yet

[Argalius]

Looks very ... ... interesting I've no idea what it does

That is cool that you have a Java class. I was thinking of taking a programming course as well some time.

me too...but the closest thing that our school has to technology is making lego robots
