You can delete multiple statements OR multiple methods with the delete key.

The '.bak' file has the previous version of your task or class file. If an error causes your work to be lost catastrophically, quit immediately.

The system now writes (frequently) backup files of its internal '.r' files.

There is a potential bug in the undo, however.

Command/ctrl Z now works the same as hitting the undo button.

The system now writes better java files.

You may delete it at any time, if it gets long.

The system now writes a log into the project directory.

In a robot initialization dialog, you can now give a robot a color badge with one of the six primary colors.

If you check it, orange and blue will be used instead of red and green in the interface

In the startup dialog, there is a checkbox in the fourth row.

These changes are not yet reflected in the instructions below If you do provide a set of non-English help files, I'd like a copy to share with others. Don't change the file names, however, or they won't be found. If you are using this in a language other than English, you can change the text of the help files to suit your own language. Note that the help files are moved to a subdirectory, since there are now a lot of them. I have also much improved the help system. When you run a program that has multi-threaded robots from within this universe, you will automatically get the speed dialog that lets you start and pause the threads. Note that if you use this, you should not also try to manipulate the robots in the task, but rather in the individual robot class run method. Select multi threading in the resulting dialog.

To set up a class for this, first create the class and then double click the class header in the class window. It is now possible to run robots in separate threads in this system. Fixes a show-stopping bug in the June 24 version and adds the option, on startup, to use true Java syntax instead of the simplified syntax. Only the KarelUniverse jar file is new in this distribution. Let me know of any experience with this, please. An incomplete test indicates it MAY run under Java 5. It now should work properly after you 'Stop Run'. It is a big improvement over the original and now supports nearly everything in the book. Here is its FAQ-HowTo page, and here is its overview page. Cathy is now an independent consultant and has worked on some very important and difficult software. Joseph Bergin has provided the current version based on her excellent work. This system is based on the work of my former student, Cathy Zura, who built the first version and is responsible for all of the core functionality.
