Kip, The iPad version runs on the iPhone down to the 3GS level (although a little slower than on the iPad).
Henry, Once you have a server running the J engine, JHS just requires a modern browser and JavaScript to be available. The graphics available for interfaces or other displays are whatever is available on the web. I have used HTML and SVG, and I would imagine that webGL would be available as well. I find I spend a lot of time programming JavaScript when I develop interfaces, but I think that the JHS version is the one that has the best potential for wide distribution. The iPad version is not the same as JHS, but because it allows HTML access through the jy verb those tools are transferrable for at least part of the screen. In the case of the iPad, the HTML cannot yet trigger the J interpreter the way that you can using events on JHS. These are all personal opinions. I would love to here the experience of others, especially if it differs. :) Cheers, bob On 2012-12-31, at 7:36 AM, km wrote: > I use the iPad version for casual use, the JHS version for serious use, have > avoided GTK. > > I have just acquired the Android version for my smartphone -- it is different > from the iPad version and, I suppose, the iPhone version if the latter exists. > > There have been a variety of graphics "libraries" supported in JHS, perhaps > Eric could comment. > > I want to point out you can set up use of JHS in parallel browser windows, > left window for execution, right window an ijs file; so the "feel" (to me) is > much like J6. > > Kip Murray > > Sent from my iPad > > > On Dec 31, 2012, at 9:03 AM, Henry Rich <[email protected]> wrote: > >> I still run J6, but recently I have used J7 a bit, and I am impressed.
