Actually, the javascript utilities you've written work very nicely. I
had originally thought of doing it with Javascript, the only reason I
didn't was because I had used a VRML product called "CosmoWorlds" for
VRML world authoring which has the ability to route events and create
script behaviors. I thought that this would be a nice feature that would
be much more difficult to do with Javascript... that and I wanted to
hone my Java 2D graphics skills as well. I'm learning as I'm going in
this department.
I've already implemented an interface to run 3rd party emulators from
within CAG. It worked perfectly with Stella 1.2. I was also able to
launch PCAE from within CAG, but the rom didn't load. I'm not sure if I
had the parameters correct. Anyway, there's a preferences menu that
allows the user to set your emulator and assembler. I haven't fully
implemented the assembler interface yet. But I expect dasm to work
properly since stella did. It's just a couple of lines of code that I'm
just waiting to put into CAG until I'm ready to start compiling with it.
Granted I only understand the basics of DASM... so if there is
something more I need to add I'm open to suggestions.
I like the idea of collaborating on CAG or any Atari developers
environment. Porting stuff over appeals to me too, since I don't want to
re-invent the wheel if I don't need to. Which apparently, to some extent
it looks like I've already done.
Thanks,
Aaron

With the power of java you can probably come up with something
much better than these, but I made two javascript pages,
one for player graphics, one for playfield:

But, I'm not too ego-bound in any of these, and am willing to help
port stuff if it will make better tools over all (on the other hand
soon I need to get off all the damn tools and guides and back
into the coding of JoustPong!)
