JAKE forms part of my final year honours research project for my BSc (Hons) in Computing. JAKE stands for "Java Karel with Events", and it's based on Karel the Robot - with some twists. Karel was first created in 1981, and JAKE uses the same principles to teach modern objects-first programming.
At the moment, JAKE is still in an early prototype. The JAKE Java package allows you to create stand-alone JAKE programs in common editors like NetBeans. Soon, the JAKE environment will use a simple interface to let you create your JAKE programs from a built-in template.
