Run through the CodeWarrior QuickStart tutorial.

• Copy the folder "\\Dragon\cls_abrady\CS 420\AquaFish\" into the Temp folder of your PC so that you can use it later. (To find Dragon on Resnet, look under Network Neighborhood.)

• Click on "Start" in the task bar. Choose "Programs", then choose "CodeWarrior Pro 4", then choose "CodeWarrior Reference Web Site". Click on "Getting Started" and then on the QuickStart "in pdf" link. This tutorial will instruct you to create a C program rather than a C++ program, but almost all of the steps are exactly the same. The changes necessary to create a C++ program are described below.

• Skip Chapter 1 of the tutorial, and read the section in Chapter 2 entitled "The CodeWarrior IDE" (pp. 13-15). You can skip ahead by either using the scroll bar, or clicking on the button at the bottom of the window that lists the page number. This section will give you an overview of the capabilities of CodeWarrior. Don't worry if you don't understand every word in this section - just try to get a feel for things.

• Skip ahead and read Chapter 5, "A Quick Tour of CodeWarrior", starting on p. 35. Skip over the section "Setting IDE Preferences" when you get to it. Follow the instructions to try out CodeWarrior as you read them. You can read the tutorial instructions in Netscape and simultaneously execute them in CodeWarrior if you resize the CodeWarrior window and move it to the upper right so it hides as little of the tutorial text as possible. To resize the window, move the mouse over the little diagonal lines in the lower right-hand corner, hold the mouse down, and drag the mouse until the window is the size you want. You can make it about half its original height and half its original width. To move the window, move the mouse to any part of the window border, hold the mouse down, and drag the mouse until the window is where you want it to be.
  • To bring up the CodeWarrior IDE on our system, click on "Start" in the task bar. Choose "Programs", then choose "CodeWarrior Pro 4", then choose "CodeWarrior".

  • The "gnu_go.mcp" example project that comes with CodeWarrior appears to be broken, so instead use the "Aqua1" project in your copy of the AquaFish folder in Temp. By the way, the "mcp" prefix you'll see in the project window stands for Metrowerks CodeWarrior project.

  • To view a context pop-up menu on our system, click on the group/file name with the right mouse button.

  • Because your current target is named "C++ Console App Release", the "Target Settings" option of the "Edit" menu will be listed as "C++ Console App Release Settings".

  • When you complete Chapter 5, close the project window and all of the editor windows before proceeding. (It is less confusing if you have only one project in CodeWarrior at a time.)

• Continue with Chapter 6, "Creating a Console Application". Follow the instructions in the section "Windows Console Program" with the following modifications:

  • In steps 2 and 3, when it says "click XXX", it means click on the little plus sign next to XXX (where XXX is some text).

  • In step 4, select "C++ Console App" rather than "C Console App".

  • In steps 9 and following, use the name "test.cpp" in place of "Hello.c". (the "cpp" prefix stands for C plus plus).

  • In step 10, use the following example code:

    // test.cpp
    #include <iostream> 
    
    using namespace std;
    
    int main( void )
    {
       cout << "Hello, your name!" << endl;
       return 0;
    }
    

    replacing your name with your actual name. The statement beginning with cout will print the indicated string in a window.

  • After step 12, move the file test.cpp into the Source group by clicking on its name in the project window and dragging it up to the Source folder.

  • In steps 13 and 14, use the file name "hello.cpp" in place of "main.c".

  • Before step 15, open the Target Settings dialog box and change the application file name to "test.exe".
