ElastoLab - A Physics Playground for Kids
David Buck
Simberon Incorporated
ElastoLab is a shrink-wrapped VisualWorks application that allows kids
to design their own 2D scenes that incorporate physics elements like
particles, springs, and gravity and lets them see their scenes animate
in real-time. Originally written in C++, it was later completely
re-written in Smalltalk.
David will be talking about the development history and the design
challenges in writing ElastoLab. The talk will explain:
* how to interface to the Windows sound facilities from Smalltalk
* how to make graphical applications run quickly
* how to package a Smalltalk application for release
* developing help facilities and guided tours
* using the web toolkit to develop a message board on the Internet
for ElastoLab.
A CD-ROM of the ElastoLab demo version will be available to all attendees.
