Okay, so this is going to work, I just need a way to merge and define custom
file sets so I can include the virtual TestMain which does everything for
me.

I was watching Kurzgesagt In a Nutshell and there was a video on emergent properties. Basically ants have four simple tasks but with with some basic rules on how tasks are assigned they can build a successful colony. I think that would be a thing that could be done for AI in the game. Basically have units which are defending the base, expanding, or attacking the enemy at the basic level.

I could do source projects a bit better since now that I have a fork.
09:58
Okay so this refactored source project code is much cleaner, smaller, and in general just way better.
11:09
For some reason it cannot find my main class and I am not sure why.
11:11
Oh that is why, the test has both a main class and MIDlet because I need it for running on two things, so there is a literal newline and the same class on it.
11:54
So my class filed decoder is going to need support for decoding annotations so that the test builder can use them.
15:37
Actually my changes to the class decoder really do nothing because for the
test system no classes are actually compiled yet. So what I need is an
actual compiler or parser to read the input class files. This means that
the class decoder is going to be put in libs because it would be needed
by the compiler and not just the JIT.
15:45
I suppose what I could do is write the Java compiler now then. As for the tokenizer I think the best thing to do would have two levels of tokenization so basically token types for that are just symbols, names, or whatever. Then on top of that is a bigger state context sensitive tokenizer. But basically for these low level tokens there would just be potential alternative interpretations of tokens. So basically something like sub-tokens potentially. Then an input iterator which is smart would be able to use either the sub-tokens or do other things depending on the context.
16:06
It would be best if the pathset for the input compiler just used a single path set instead of multiple ones, especially since there is the merged one that exists now. So there is no need to complicate it in a way. However, it would make initializing the class path a bit more complex, so bad idea.
16:29
I think a good thing for the compiler would be to load a structure first for an input file if it has not yet been determined, then compile that structure.
18:51
So the next thing to do is to go back to tokenization since the input files need to be parsed. The initial tokenizer pass will just be low-level ones with symbols and such with no context. Once the symbols are known then a basic state machine could be built on it.

This code is a bit old but there are better ways to do it.
