[GAP] JEWL and GNAT GPL 2006

[Riehle, Richard (CIV)]

I noticed that you were trying to do the pong 
program. 

I give this as an exercise to my students.   I ask them
to modify it so it will support two paddles.  Sometimes
they add sound and other interesting effects.   My 
students are all graduate students so they often have
children.  I find that, if one of my male students has
a son in the 8-12 age range, the resulting project is 
even more interesting than usual.


Attached are a few examples I chose at random from completed
projects.  I'm not sure I picked the best ones, but they
should be a representative sample.

Subject: [GAP] JEWL and GNAT GPL 2006

Next semester I am teaching a course in concurrent programming.  When I 
taught this course last (in 2000), I found John English's Window Library

(JEWL) to be the perfect tool for I/O in my examples and 
assignments.   Today I downloaded and installed the latest version of
JEWL 
on my Windows XP machine.  I attempted to build and run one of the 
examples.  I am unable to get a successful link.   Below is a copy of my

attempt to make the pong example - it looks that I am missing some 
files.  Has anyone had success using JEWL with GNAT GPL 2006?

A bit of good Ada news.  This Fall the University of Northern Iowa will 
return to using Ada in our CS1 and CS2 courses!  Faculty voted 
overwhelmingly to replace Java in these two courses.
