The issue though is overhead. So now we got rid of the casting, but we introduce a function call and then an entry into the event queue for something as simple as needing a plain integer division (without casting).
Well, maybe not.

#End IfDo you honestly believe that using in-line Java is quicker/simpler/more robust than use int() function? It came back again and again to the same point - why I have to cater for all this cr... stuff from the beginning? If you know such underwater stones then you can deal with them in numerous ways, but again why they have to be here in the first place? And no-one discard performance issue either.
Cannot agree more. Give me back old C!!!!!I wasn't actually expecting anything.......
