The program seens nice, but I don't really think that the user want to see every math operation animated or at least this should be configurable. What I would like to do is make a presentation file, where you configure the animator, put the parts that you want to show or don't, and maybe define how you want then animated on the screen. Have you ever used gato (http://gato.sourceforge.net/) ? In it you can only animate graph algos, but what I like in it is that it shows graphs in a graphical way, coloring the node that you are reading from, something that jeliot doesn't apear to do. OpenExVis should have a way for the user to make his own graphical representation of the info, especialy for the black boxes. Some examples would be: - A real semaphore for teaching about concurrency - Some tree representation to show search algos - double linked lists represented by a circle so the users see that if he keeps going left in it it would never end. What do you think? (yep I am really ancious about this) >=20 > As for where you could help in addition to giving feedback, I would > really like to offload the webmaster task to someone else if you'd be > willing and capable of doing that.

I think that a lot of people would find this kind of program a very neat idea and would like to help out. --=20 Leonardo Santagada (http://www.lomohomes.com/retype) "In Python, how do you create a string of random characters?
