Huh. You know, esp. since both of you go with the "checkbox" method
for drawing the graphics, there's no reason this couldn't be in

There are a few advantages to an app, like the ability to save and open
easily or access the system clipboard -- and [years and years and years]
later, stuff like saving to your code's file, compiling, and starting up
your emulator. But sure, you could do what I've got now (and, iirc,
what Chris did) with dhtml right easily. I'd also given a little
thought to learning Java 2d graphics to show what the player looks like
while you're making it, but there's nothing stopping dhtml from doing
that either.
Maybe once I get 2600 101 done, I'll try my hand at that...much easier
to
install a webpage! ;-)
But a lot phatter footprint to open a browser than a few quick
utilities. Course the utilities need to do more than one afternoon's
hacking worth of stuff to make it matter. :^)
Good luck with the javascript/dhtml version.
