Presentation Transcript

  1. Pavel Boychev Sofia University Mgozi: Elica Logo and Objects

  2. The presentation • What is Elica? • Two events • Zombies • *41 & 14* • Elica Object Features • Elica Future

  3. What is Elica • Educational Logo Interface for Creative Activities • Programming language • Educational tool • Research environment

  4. Mission • To enrich LOGO with objects • To allow easy understanding and use of objects and object oriented programming • To provide flexible environment for study, research and modeling • To support both beginners and advanced users

  5. Two years ago • RLS (old version of Elica) was presented at PEG’97 • A question was asked:“ARE OBJECTS EASY TO USE?”

  6. RLS object “TRIANGLE” to object triangle :a :b :c local “ab “bc “ca make “ab segment :a :b make “bc segment :b :c make “ca segment :c :a rule “a [make “ab.initial :a make “ca.final :a] rule “b [make “bc.initial :b make “ab.final :b] rule “c [make “ca.initial :c make “bc.final :c] rule “bc [make “b :bc.initial make “c :bc.final] rule “ca [make “c :ca.initial make “a :ca.final] rule “ab [make “a :ab.initial make “b :ab.final]end

  7. Elica object “TRIANGLE” to triangle :a :b :c local “ab “bc “ca (make “ab segment :a :b ) (make “bc segment :b :c ) (make “ca segment :c :a)end

  8. Two weeks ago • Elica was presented at a Bulgarian-USA Forum for Math Education • In the morning of the Eclipse day: Is it possible to simulate space mechanics with Elica objects? • The default answer is “YES” • 1 hour after the Eclipse - it was done.

  9. Phase 1

  10. Phase 2

  11. Phase 3 make"sun planet 30 position 00 velocity 0-20 make"earth planet 10 position 16030 velocity -1050 make"moon planet 3 position -17520 velocity 2020

  12. Procedure Lifetime 1 Arg1 Arg2 Procedure Code • A call to a procedure • Supply arguments • Execute procedure code • Code can use local variables and procedures Var1 Var2 SubProc1 SubProc2

  13. Procedure Lifetime 2 Arg1 Arg2 Procedure Code • An exit from a procedure • Arguments and local variables are removed • Local procedures are not accessible Var1 Var2 SubProc1 SubProc2

  15. What is “zombie”? Random House Webster’s College Dictionary: zombie (zom'bee) n. 1. (in voodoo). The body of a dead person supernaturally imbued with the semblance of life and set to perform tasks as a mute, will-less slave.

  16. Object = Procedure Zombie A call of procedure Memory for variables, procedures, functions and objects Asks for definition Allocates resources Execute procedure code Restore allocated resources New Instance Stores resources

  17. Simple object to point :x :ydefinition end make “q point 5 6construction print :q.x :q.yretrieving data make “q.x 10modifying data Example

  18. All for one, one for all Variables Functions Procedures Objects Some LOGO and non-LOGO languages Elica

  19. Definition to point :x :y end Who is who? make “q point 0 0 as object point 0 0 as procedure print :point as variable

  20. Features • Classes and instances • Inherited objects • Polymorphism • Multiple parents • Real-time instance modification • Real-time class modification

  21. Elica Future • Modules for geometry, algebra, calculus, logic, physics, astronomy, mechanics, music, and many more • Platform independence • Used in education in many countries

  22. Questions?

  23. The End
