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...
