Every Bunny Loves some Bunny Sometime

This is my first brush with JavaFX. I wanted to see if I could create a simpple ecosystem (predation, reproduction and hopefully a little natural selection) usinf JavaFX.

Before I dive into the code some cautiionary notes:

1. The compiler will blow up -- early and often. I don't mean that it will reflect your errors with nice line number indicated error messages, though that happens once in a while -- I mean it will utterly fail with no indications as to where or why you caused it to fail. To get around this -- compile VERY OFTEN. even better, use subversion to allow you to track and revert changes -- the NetBeans IDE will integrate nicely into subversion.
2. Don't try to overload constructors in custom classes -- it will cause compiler breakage and its against the nature of JavaFX anyway. Initial conditions should be set via the create utility.
3. Every method returns its last value; make sure that there is a definitive and consistent return type at the end of each method. I.e.,
   

   public function foo()
   {
       a = 2;
       b = 3;
       if (a == b)
       {
           a;
       }
       else
       {
          true;
       }
   }
   
   

   will confuse and break the compiler.

4. JavaFX supports multiple extension -- therefore, delegating to parent constructors will not work, even if you only use single extension.

5. Don't attempt to modify a sequence inside a for(a in sequence) loop. I know -- seems obvious, but.

6. Avoid unnecessary type hinting. Only specify type when you are creating overloaded methods.

7. The create() codeblock will execute after a custome node instantiation ( and therefore can overwrite any settings established inside the new Foo { .. }
