One of the newer programming languages is Java or J++. It can be used to make
applcation programs and Applets. Applets are programs that run inside of a
WEB browser.
The following applet has Tovin the Robot and his robot mouse Eek,
solving maze problems. You can give Eek commands one at a time or store up
a complete program. You program Eek using simple English commands such as
ENTER, FORWARD, TURN RIGHT, and EXIT. Click on the following link to try of
