ToonTalk now has much stronger support for game programming. This includes new and improved sensors and remote controls. It also includes the ability to build and compose behaviors in a flexible and fluid fashion. Visit the Playground Game Place to find and play games built in ToonTalk by children and researchers. ToonTalk is now Internet-aware.
Any file used can be a URL that describes a location anywhere on the Internet.
ToonTalk is now more tightly integrated with a browser and with the operating system's file explorer so that just double clicking on a file icon containing a ToonTalk object, demo, puzzle, or city launches ToonTalk in an appropriate mode and automates the importing of objects. Also, any number of files can be imported into ToonTalk in a single drag and drop action. ToonTalk now has general support for comments and labels that enable you to give descriptions and names to things. Many shortcuts are now available for frequent actions such as using the clipboard to import and export ToonTalk objects, turning on and off components, and for calling your toolbox and notebook. ToonTalk can now input and display text in languages that require a double-byte character encoding such as Japanese.
