There has been a small problem with the tester and with drawing lines using the draw.jar. Both of these errors have been fixed --- this time for real, I hope.

Problem 5.2 in assignment 5 says Hand in (as two separate files) both the original solution and the solution after you have designed the loops with accumulators.
You don't actually need to submit the original file (since that is on the 2007 Spring class website), but only the file you wrote, the one where you use accumulators.
Apparently some of the homeworks handed in do not compile. You will get no credit for a program that fails to compile.
If the program compiles and produces a runtime error, additional points may be subtracted. Please, include comments explaining your problems if your program is not complete.

Assignment 4 is now posted.
To run your game you need to do the following:
The class OceanWorld should extend World - so the first line of code after the three import statements and a comment what the program does will be:
class OceanWorld extends World{
Include in the definition of the class OceanWorld the following method:
// start the world and the timer
boolean go() {
return this.bigBang(300,200,0.05); }
where 300 is the width of the world, 200 is the height, and there is a new tick every 0.5 second.
Define the instance of the initial OceanWorld in the Examples class:
OceanWorld sfw = new OceanWorld(... );
After you run the program and see that all tests succeeded, in the Interactions window do the following:
> Examples e = new Examples();
> e.sfw.go()
and play the game.
