Program Animation
as a way to teach and learn about
Program Design and Analysis
in the framework of the
Webworks Laboratory
Program Animation
Program animation refers to the interactive, dynamic display of programs in execution.
What it is
Program animation was the first project tackled by the project director and earlier
members of what has now become the Webworks team. Program animation remains one of
the primary thrusts of Webworks, with a successful animation environment for the web well
on its way. Visit the links below to learn more about this project and to try
the program animator.

The Craftsmen and Women
The program animator has evolved through many phases and passed through the hands of
many people. Those primarily responsible for the web incarnation are Frances Goosey and Chris Boroni. The animator has
been the subject of numerous papers and conference presentations, and in earlier versions
has been used all over the world. The web version is sure to receive even more use.
Try the animator
Try the Webworks program animator yourself! Just remember to be PATIENT at the start. It takes a while to download the
applet. When you start the first animation be PATIENT
again. Initialization of the applet and the Java virtual machine seem to take some
time. However, after initialization is complete, you can sit back and enjoy the fun
for the rest of the session!
