Virtual Maze Generator for TADS 3

Chapter 1: Installation

JAVA COMPONENT

In the "JAVA Component" folder, you will find a file named "Maze.jar". It is an executable JAVA file. If you have the JAVA runtime environment (JRE) installed on your computer, this program will run simply by double-clicking on it. (You can download JAVA here.)

No installation is necessary. If you desire, you can move the "JAVA Component" folder to a new location and rename it. You can also create a shortcut to the "Maze.jar" executable file and place the shortcut wherever you desire (e.g. on your desktop or in your menus).

TADS 3 COMPONENT

In the "TADS 3 Component" folder, you will find these files:

Maze Example.tA sample program that shows how to invoke a virtual maze
MazeClass.t This file contains:
  • the "Maze" class definition

  • the special verbs (i.e. commands) for the "Maze" class

No installation is necessary. If you desire, you can move the "TADS 3 Component" folder to a new location and rename it.

In "Chapter 3: Initializing the TADS 3 Component", you will learn about setting up the TADS 3 component for a specific program that you are writing.
