[K12OSN] OT: New Educational Application

[luis.montes at cox.net]

Hi guys,

Sorry this is a little off topic, but I'd like to get feedback on a new educational app I wrote.
Nothing that hasn't been done before, I just did it my way this time :)

The application is called JTurtle and is available at http://members.cox.net/luis.montes

It is basically a programming tutor application written in java, similar to the old Turtle Graphics application.

You give commands to the little turtle on the screen and have him draw pretty pictures.

Some notable features:

-Uses BeanShell scripting which allows for procedural programming or full on Object Oriented Java.
-Has the ability to stop running scripts.(useful to kill infinite loops in scripts)
-Images can be saved as PNG files
-Syntax hilighting via jedit's JEditPane component(Java, BeanShell, & JTurtle API)
-JTurtle Javadoc viewable from interface.
-GPL license


I've tested this on windows & linux (K12ltsp) with jdk 1.4.2 and 1.5 beta


Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Luis
