Java applets and applications

If you have a Java-enabled browser (so can view applets)
and would be interested to see where I have reached
in learning about Java programming, you can go to
my java index page.
This has links to a set of java applets
which demonstrate various features.
There are also four trivial Java applications there,
ready for downloading.

But my pride and joy is my
Astrolabe program
which has taken me a long time to write.

Programming

I have writen a few applets and applications in Java. See above.

I had previously written applications in C using the AcornC/C++ compiler.

However, apart from my Astrolabe program, of which I am immensely proud, I have only writen trivial programs, nothing which would interest others unless they want to know how I have accomplished something.

One of my trivial programs (now lost!) downloaded and analysed the lottery results in an endeavour to find a correlation between them and the only physical aspect of the lottery mechanism which I could imagine just might make the result ever so marginally predictable, Needless-to-say, I didn't detect a correlation, but the exercise didn't cost me a penny. I have never wasted money by buying lottery tickets.
