Steve Weyer's Waba apps
Some external links may be obsolete -- if you have updates, please send.
This page lists a few simple Waba
apps I've done as programming exercises, mostly ports of
Newton and JavaScript apps.
WinCE Note: you will probably have to edit the .lnk files slightly --
move 3rd " from before to after classname; increase memory and stack parameters as needed.
Recent changes:
- 4 Jun: [updated] library: waba.pkg;
[updated] apps: CountDown, Crypto, Jumble, LifeSW, Mines, PFB -- new Random number generator for web and Newton versions;
Palm and WinCE versions still use old Random (bug in Mines: don't select 50 mines)
- 13 Mar: [new] Jumble
- 8 Mar: [updated] Crypto
- 5 Mar: [new] Crypto. [updated] PFB (digit "9" was never generated)
- 25 Feb: [new] Sproing
- 16 Feb: [updated] waba.jar, Mines
- 8 Feb: [new] Turtle, Mines; [updated] Life, Hanoi animation works with Apple MRJ;
wextra.jar and
wextra.pkg: Maths.cos fix;
waba.jar: apps with Edit(PFB,CountDown) now work with Apple's MRJ -- browsers and AppletRunner (thanks to Scott Cytacki for focus fix)
You should be able to run these apps in any desktop web browser or applet viewer that supports Java;
waba functionality is supplied via two libraries: waba.jar, wextra.jar.
I have also included links to versions for Palm (tested only in Palm Emulator),
WinCE (tested on Casio E-10) and Newton (NOS 2.x only) --
these all require that a Waba VM (virtual machine) be installed:
Newton;
for the Newton you also need to install two libraries: waba.pkg
(also with WabaVM distribution; though check for later versions here)
and wextra.pkg
If you experiment with the source, you need a Java SDK, Waba SDK, and wextra lib.
Also, take a look at my Waba tools.
