The Applet Concept

This concept is not to be confused with Java Applets. The Applet concept goes further back if you look at the Wikipedia entry here.

I had been tempted just to change the name to Application or App for short. I'm going to stay with it in the eventuality that we may wish to run several of these side by side or embedded in a web page. That makes the name stick.

The Applet's main role is to serve as the root of the simulation heirarchy.

Applets are derived according to which GUI system the user plans on using. CEGUI and wxWidgets for now. More to follow.
