Ha, you didn't fool me! ;)

And I'm really looking forward to the next version of NeoLemmix. :thumbsup:

I guess if neolemmix is dead we may ALL have to switch to SUPERLEMMINI then.

This joke was dead on arrival, because we all saw it coming as if it had had a skill shadow :P .

The presence of a skill shadow doesn't affect the effectiveness of the skill. In fact, if anything, it guarantees that its placement is more effective.

Not sure how that fits the metaphor though... ;P :forehead:

No, but it does affect its predictability. ;)

You know what would have been a much more mean April Fools joke?

If namida had announced he had reconsidered things and that the Spearer and Grenader would be added into NeoLemmix, after all (on top of the Slider and Laser Blaster). :evil:
Nothing worse than giving people false hopes... :P

Or learn Delphi for the sole reason to get the engine where you want it. At least one person has done it before!

At least three actually - ccexplore, myself and Nepster all had no Delphi experience when we first started tinkering with (Neo)Lemmix; I'm not sure about the others but I had very little OOP experience in general, having only really worked with BASIC and the procedural dialect of PHP prior to that. If Icho contributes to the code side of things in the future, I believe that'd make four.
