jtool aims to be a feature-rich tool for designing and testing intricate needle platforming. I made it because RMJ (I Wanna Record My Jumps) is such an invaluable tool to the fangame community, yet it lacked a lot of features and was a bit quirky in my eyes. Oh, and also because I happened to have the motivation and time to do it.
Special thanks to: YoYoYoDude1 for his GMStudio engine, Thenewgeezer for the original RMJ, Klazen108 for adding the object code, and everyone who gave feedback, feature ideas, and encouragement.
