Development of animation development environments
is shaping up well. Some features included in
the planning of this project are:
Support for runtime equation parameters.
Interfaces allowing for easy expansion of
components that will be available for forms.
Two types of components that do not fall into the
information gathering category. Dynamic components
and Live components. Dynamic components equation
sources can include items from context running
the form displayer. Live components except
developer's threads implementing provided
interfaces to manipulate sources in the component
equation.
Ability to save form configuration to persistant
storage using markup language. This will also
provide for easy transmission of the form to
multiple work stations(The live components thread
modules will most likely be transmitted in
byte form to a classloader on the receiver's
computer).
Form Displayer almost complete.
Form Developer almost complete.
Currently no live component thread modules created.
