Re: 21st century programming for the Apple II



I should have mentioned the demos available on the disk image. Type the uppercased program at the MAIN CLASS: prompt. Some can take parameters.

HELLO
HELLOWORLD
HIRESPLOT
MOIRE
P8
RODSCOLORS
SIMPLEPONG
LIST [filename]

HELLO is a simple program that just accepts input and prints it back out using some standard Java I/O classes.

HELLOWORLD shows off multi-threading. Multiple things going on while accepting keyboard input.

HIRESPLOT is just a simple 3D plot

MOIRE is kind of like the same program on the DOS master.

P8 shows off some of the ProDOS class in action.

RODSCOLORS is the trippy lores kaleidescope program Rod's Colors ported to Java.

SIMPLEPONG is a very simplistic pong program that gets faster and faster. Shows off lores, paddle input, and sound.

LIST will dump a file to the screen. This is used to print the readme.txt file the first time you boot the disk. Any file named STARTUP wil automatically be run instead of giving you the MAIN CLASS: prompt.

Enjoy,

Dave...
