Programming

Hello UNIX,

I wrote a Java Web-Start application based on my C code for the Directed Acyclic Word Graph or DAWG. It is primarily an effective and convenient tool for training to be an expert Scrabble player. Beyond that, it should be more accessible than my low-level C code.

It works when I run it from my web browser, but I would really appreciate some constructive peer review.

Does it work for you? It should take just a minute to test-out:

www.pathcom.com/~vadco/dawg.html - Launch button in "Introduction".

Three major functions:

1 - Direct Word Search
2 - Wildcard Pattern Word Search
3 - Anagrammer (wildcard optional)


Thank you, and all the very best,

JohnPaul Adamovsky

PS - This is my first Java program. I still prefer C and Assembly, but the people have spoken. Performance takes a back seat to double-click-ability. I hope that both are covered on my web page.
