The reason for its speed is because i am using some very low level access to the actual data that GreenfootImage uses to represent the Image

Well you are just going to have wait a bit longer :P Trust me the wait will be worth it. In the meantime i am updating my armature scenario to better work in Greenfoot2.0 and without any method overloading.

It actually works better in Greenfoot2.0 and i have updated it accordingly, i plan to release a new version rather soon since i am using it in my new game :)
