AlgAE's goal is to let an instructor quickly animate code drawn from a C++ or Java text, and to display these animations in a classroom setting (relatively few objects on the screen, but drawn large enough to be visible in a large classroom, using an overhead LCD pad or similar display device).
The basic steps in creating a Java animation are:
Renderer
class.
The Renderer
for a class C
must
provide functions that describe
C
.
C
object.
C
object points to.
C
object.
breakHere
wherever a pause and redraw of the
data state is desired and present a list of any parameters or
local variables to be drawn.
