swarmapps-objc-2.2

If you are interested, please look this over and tell me if you see 
obvious glitches.  I got frustrated trying to integrate the java apps 
and so I decided to give you swarmapps-objc while I have it, and fuss 
over swarmapps-java later (when the headache subsides).

Here's the README content.


Swarmapps In Objective-C
Version 2.2

This package includes example programs that work with Swarm-2.2.
The package represents a volunteer effort to revise and improve
several Swarm programs.

In the "swarmapps-2.1.1" package, the following applications were
featured:

heatbugs
hello-world
market
mousetrap
template
tutorial


In this package, we have not included the following because
there were no volunteers who wanted to actively maintain them:

hello-world
market
template

In the place of those applications, we have included several
new, exciting programs.

arborgamesII: See the trees and the forest!

conway: Conway's Game of Life

schellingII: An implementation of Schelling's model of racial segregation

sss: A Swarm version of Epstein & Axtell's Sugar Scape model.

We hope that the hello-world programs will be incorporated in the
future.  The future of the market application is less optimistic.  If
one wants to study a model of the stock market, one can instead
consider the Santa Fe Artificial Stock Market (ASM)
http://ArtStkMkt.sourceforge.net.


If you have questions about how to run or use these applications,
please address them to the community on the swarm-support email list.
If you can't find help there, you can directly contact the authors of
the individual programs.  Those authors are reading swarm-support, so 
you should usually just join that list and address that general audience 
so others can l
earn from your questions and their answers.

================================================================

Note:

This was held up for a while because, on Fedora Core 3, I cannot make 
the feature work which takes a screenshot of the entire screen.  But on 
FC2 and Windows, it works, so I'm proceeding as if it is something wrong 
in FC3 that we will eventually figure out.  I have not the ability/time 
to track this down yet, but I keep hoping I will.
