Bot development for Magik (Bots)
Bot development for Magik // BotsfrizzleSep 27, 2002, 5:27am
Just wanted to announce that I have released a *beta* version of a new Bot
development kit for Tekadence Magik: http://www.axlogic.com/aw For those of you who have never heard of Magik (probably most), it is a new visual development tool similar to VisualBasic - but for creating Java applications. I am one of the creators of Magik, but also I'm a long time fan of AW and creating Bots for AW. I couldn't resist the temptation of building a Tekadence module, and I think there is a lot that can be exploited.. such as the ease of which you can talk to WebServices, Databases, and JavaBeans - and also the robust scripting layer allowing you to program using standard Javascript. The functionality of the module is pretty limited right now, but easily expanded since the framework is all in place - namely the JNI layer that I had to develop first. I think that this is a pretty cool tool, and would be interested in anyones opinion on what I have in place so far, so please feel free to check it out and let me know what you think! If you are interested in Magik itself, you can check that out too - and you will need to download it use the new module I made: http://www.tekadence.com -j |
