Jackal
GoGo Board Edition

Jackal is a text-based authoring tool for the Cricket Logo language. It allows you to write Cricket Logo programs and download them to the GoGo board. This version of Jackal was modified to fully support the GoGo board hardware. The original Jackal was developed for the MIT Cricket (and the handy cricket) by Rahul Bhargava and is available at http://www.instituteofthefuture.org/jackal

Installation

Jackal was written in Java. We've included the Java runtime with the package to make Jackal self-contained. Thus, there is no need to install Java before Jackal. Here are the recommended installation procedure:

  1. Download Jackal and unzip it to c:\Jackal
  2. Create a shortcut on the desktop to the file c:\Jackal\jackal.bat
  3. If the GoGo board is not connected to COM1, you should change the settings in the preference file (Jackal-Preferences.txt).
