[MWForum]have you tried MW EX or new web player?

[Ray Catzel]

I am most impressed with MWex. It might load slower than the previous
versions but I cannot notice and difference in execution speed. It has a lot
more shapes (static and for animation). It is far easier to get a turtle
shape to rotate as the direction changes. It is particularly powerful (and
unique) in its ability to export and import turtles which provides an ideal
environment for collaborative work in the class. It also has dialog objects
(drop lists and option buttons that are so widely used in other languages.

I am recommending this version to all my clients and would highly recommend
that all of you on this list evaluate it for yourselves.

Hi, I was wondering if some of you who've tried the new MW EX would
share your impressions with us.  It has been brought to my attention
that EX runs moderately to considerably slower than MW 2.0 or MW Pro.
Has this been a problem for any of you?  What do you think of the MW
EX environment? support materials? user-friendliness?  Do you
recommend that MW lovers switch over to EX or do you have any
reservations?

For more information on EX, visit:

For the demo version of MW EX (which cannot save or print), visit:
http://www.microworlds.com/solutions/demo_ex.html

Whether or not you are interested in switching to EX, you might want
to download the new MW web player which will allow you to view EX
projects online.  Daniel has also informed me that it is much more
stable than the older web player.  Web pages displaying more than one
MW project used to cause his browser to freeze (on an old computer)
but now, using the new web player, the pages display multiple projects
with no glitches at all.
