hello,

I create simple framework RobotJ similar to turtle graphics. Robot understand 
commands e.g.: forward(), penUp(), penDown(), setColor(), right(), left(), 
etc.
Robot lives in desktop where he moves and draws.

Idea of robot is taken from my college teacher Andrej Blaho at Comenius 
University in Bratislava. He is co-author of projects Comenius Logo and 
Imagine (http://www.logo.com/imagine/).

For now programming language for robot projects is java. But there is no 
problem connect script language to robot API. I am also writting pascal 
interpreter in java but for now there is no stable version...

RobotJ is based on 2 netbeans modules (robot API, robot IDE).
Project home page is http://code.google.com/p/robotj/

Some sample project codes:

Screenshots:

Update repository:

This is first public preview and there is lot of work to do... My idea is to 
write open source IDE based on turtle graphics and good learning programming 
language (pascal, java) to teach children algorithmic thinking and 
programming skills... ;)
If you interested or have some ideas and questions, please feel free to 
contact me...
