Becker Library

This is the most important download. It's a file named becker.jar that contains .class files necessary to run the robot programs contained in the textbook. It also includes various utilities, and extras for a number of assignments. The library requires JDK 1.5 or higher to run.

An older version of the library, compatible with JDK 1.3 and higher, is here. Three of the significant differences are:

• The order of arguments to robot constructors in the new library is (str, ave) rather than (ave, str).
• Directions in the new library are specified with an enumeration.
• The new library no longer uses CityFrame.

Documentation for the older library is here.
