You have made a lot of progress toward putting together your professional Java game splash screen
design, user interface design, and top-level SceneGraph and class (and method) infrastructure during
this chapter. You have also learned about the Image, ImageView, Text, TextFlow, Background, and
BackgroundImage classes. Pat yourself on the back, if you are that flexible, and then take a little break from
Java 9 programming!
