Bobolink Home Page

Bobolink is a block-diagram simulator written in Java which runs as an applet. Bobolink puts active, fiddleable models of systems in web pages, so that the viewer can play with them. Java has a feature called the Reflection which lets it dynamically link in classes given only a name. Bobolink uses the Reflection to make it easy for users to create entirely new types of block without having to modify a single line of the existing code.

As you can see from the diagram above, Bobolink still isn't very polished.

See some live examples of Bobolink block diagrams (version for older browsers, browsers behind firewalls, etc.)
