Re: [Jmol-developers] serious refactoring of Jmol

This looks cool...I'm going to see if I can convince my School to set something up.

This is in preparation for Mario Kosmiskas integrating his Jmol Android and NET apps into core Jmol. Both Android and NET will be separate Java/C## projects (within the Jmol Sourceforge project) that link to the Jmol project, so developers not interested in those won't need the Android SDK.

By specifying a port number on the Jmol command line, you will be able to communicate with Jmol via that port essentially like applets communicate with each other using SYNC commands. Adam has written a Kinect-driven "host" that takes this Jmol app as its client. Jmol listens asynchronously on the port for raw mouse motions, script commands, and SYNC messages using a simple JSON protocol, and reports back to the host when a script has completed. Adam has installed this at U-Mass Amherst as the Molecular Playground http://molecularPlayground.org and we are currently installing a version of this at St. Olaf.
