The rest of the code is Ruby but this isn't. Guessing this code wasn't copied and pasted but written on the fly by someone who's been doing some Java recently? :-)

...Guilty.

Edit: fixed.

I spent a week porting a Java game to JRuby and I must admit.. I wouldn't actually mind a mixed syntax like this, but it did make do a double take ;-)

Heh. Yeah, I always find myself using the non-existent keyword now in Ruby and blowing things up by accident. It's the one place where Ruby is surprisingly unnatural.

Thanks for the catch. :)
