Save Me From Gradle Please

You want to make a game? Cool! You're using Java? Great choice! Oh wait, you're using Gradle as your build tool? Say hello to your new full-time job: deciphering cryptic dependency resolution errors that read like ancient hieroglyphics written by a caffeinated elephant.

The Gradle elephant starts off looking all cute and friendly, but then it transforms into this nightmare creature that throws walls of red text at you. "Failed to resolve all artifacts for configuration 'classpath'" – yeah, thanks buddy, super helpful. Nothing says "fun game development" quite like spending 6 hours debugging your build system instead of actually building your game.

The best part? The error message is longer than your actual game code. Gradle's basically that friend who can't give you simple directions and instead explains the entire history of the road system.
