Agenda

  1. Decide what to do next

Minutes

After breathing a sigh of relief that we'd got through the review without any problems, we resolved to make the project progress less shambolic in the next two weeks. We decided that the code needed to be commented in a fashion compatible with javadoc. We also agreed that we needed to investigate the verification instruction (code letter F) that EDSAC had. We also need to resolve the applet/application problem, ie which one do we code the program as. An applet cannot read/write local files, which would be useful for program tape storage, but an application, which can do that, is unable to run in a browser window. In the meantime we are coding the program with a wrapper that allows us to appear as one or the other by changing only a few lines of code.

We scheduled another meeting on Monday, to be followed by an afternoon of coding on Tuesday or Wednesday.
