Hello,

In addition to the new release of Jave I have put online the new Jave
Player project.

The idea for this project came from Andreas Freise. He wanted to show
others how Ascii artist draw Ascii art images. The first movie showing
the creation of "tshilp" is online now and can be viewed at: 

  http://www.jave.de/player/demo1.html

Have a look at it - it is fascinating.

Create such movies is very simple when using Jave for drawing Ascii art.
There is only one thing you have to do when finished drawing the image:
chose Menu->File->Save As Jave Movie. - That's all.
You can view this movie in the Jave Player. The Jave Player is an open
source Java applet.

For more information about the Player, the Jave Movie format etc. have a
look at:

  http://www.jave.de/player/index.html

Some days ago there was a message in this ng with a link to a julia set
cgi-script. I have played around with Jave, the new Jave Movie Format
and some algorithms and that's what came out:

  http://www.jave.de/player/demo2.html

It is a Jave Movie where you can see the famous Mandelbrot set in ascii.

Have fun,
Markus

PS: Don't forget to tell me what you think about it

PPS: This project is very very new and there is not very much
documentation at the moment. The Jave Player is not worked out very
well. So if you're into Java programming, why not have a look at it.

PPPS: Obascii Mandelbrot set (if you like it have a look at the movie)
