Featured Talk: Traffic Signal Emulator - John Peters The traffic signal emulator application is compiled on top of Web Forth. As you know Web Forth is available on the Internet via any browser. John has been modifying it. He downloaded a copy runs it locally to test hisimprovements. John has not been able to get any response from the original authors other than to say we're still here. His modifications show some examples of a way to give the driver a little more advance notice before the yellow signal surprises you. |
