Brushes

Sure, we're talking about painting, but many paints are much the same. Brushes are critical.

You may think that you need a teeny tiny brush to paint miniatures, but realize that the point of one sharp brush is the same size as another, no matter how large the brush. Until brush size gets significantly larger, smaller brushes simply hold less paint. We use smaller brushes when we want to load them with less paint to minimize accidents. As you become more experienced, you'll become more comfortable with using larger brushes for smaller work.

Craft the World

TODOs

• Create one training area for each dwarf. Dwarves will train automatically when they're not busy.
• re-equip dwarves when portals open (this also gives an opportunity to revisit equipment)
  • (un)equip fire/silver/special arrows!
  • shields for warriors (minimum), or everyone (old shields for others, probably?)
  • whetstones (?) for warriors
• gloves for archers

The problem

Let's say that we have a Collection<Integer> or an int[] (array) of numbers, and we would like to count the groups of adjacent elements with the same value (clumps).
