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.
