This Java application is based on the old PLATO mainframe lesson called "0sentences" and demonstrates how old ideas can have new life. The basic idea is to allow the user of the applet the ability to create a simple sentence and then see the sentence acted out, using rudimentary animation. An interesting extension would be to substitute the simple GIF images with more fleshed out pictures, improve the animation with multiple GIF images, and the addition of sound. Perhaps in Version 2 :) This applet expects to find the GIF images used in the animation in a subdirectory named "images". See "init()" for details or if that needs to be changed.
