I wondered about that when I did it, but I assumed (wrongly) that 
since the name of the array was the same, it would override it.

Thank you for suggesting that I make rendering a tile's 
responsibility instead of the renderer's. It honestly makes more 
sense that way, and my code is cleaner because of it. I did 
actually get it working because of that.

Just to clarify, you can use a superclass variable to reference a 
member of a subclass? That seems to be what's happening.

Thanks so much guys, I really appreciate it. My code it working 
now, and it's committed to github, so you can check it out if 
you'd like. Thanks!
