Happy new year everyone!

SmallWorld is a version of Tim Budd's Little Smalltalk which he  
rewrote a few years back to run on the JVM.

I was playing around, and have made some small changes to it; mainly  
to put the image into the jar file - which means that SmallWorld is  
now a single executable jar file weighing in at only 72kb including  
vm and image!

For those people unfamiliar with Little Smalltalk, it is not a full  
Smalltalk 80 system but has been simplified in a number of ways.  The  
current image contains about 4000 objects and is missing many of the  
normal features of a Smalltalk system (like a debugger, for example :)

Nevertheless, it's a fun little system to play with and both the  
image and the vm should be easily understandable.

Play with it online at http://russell-allen.com/smallworld/

Best wishes,

Russell
