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