Brian,
I've not followed your turtle project at all.
I would appreciate a mile-high overview of what it is you want to do.
I imagine something like:
1. user types in 1 or more commands in a textbox in the browser
2. users presses enter
3. browser sends ajax request to J with the textbox contents
4. J does calculations that result in a number of 'steps' that
describe the required draws
5. J sends back 1 or more 'steps'
6. Javascript ajax handler loops on each step:
draws update as defined by step
delays so user sees movement for that step
continues loop until all steps are done
7. back to number 1
Am I missing something, or is this roughly what you want?
I think it should be fairly easy to modify the current jgldemo to
have the above pattern. That is to take a textbox argument (perhaps a
series of colors) that would then change the drawing with each new
color with a delay between each step. Or are you trying to do
something completely different?
