Have a correct logging system about shapeofthingsthatwere HOT 3 CLOSED

I think http://www.tinylog.org/ may be a good choice, it is small, easy to use, and as it is a game, having a logger hierarchy may not be that useful (there is no integration with external componant so less need to know which class logged what).

Otherwise, we could use log4j 2.x. It seems it performs well (http://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/async.html#Performance).

Tinylog looks like a good idea but some design decisions seem quite strange : for instance it uses MessageFormat syntax instead of String.format.

After discussion the best solution would be slf4j as API, with log4j2 as backend. For production use there is a no-op slf4j implementation.
