Thread: How to make a simple and efficient web control panel.

Hi there,

I am currently working on a small side project for fun but i seem to have hit a bump and not sure what the best way to proceed is.

The project i am creating is a roller coaster simulator.

So far i have created it using eclipse and it runs on my local machine...
I start up the simulator, and enter in what settings i want (ie. number of cars, length of track etc..) and then it displays some graphics and data.

but what i want to do now, though, is set it up so i can access it through a browser.

This way, as long as it it running on the local host machine, i should be able to connect to it through a browser, change settings if i want, and control it.

I am not sure what a clean way of designing this, anyone have any suggestions?

I have been reading about java RIM library, any comments on this?


Thanks for the help - i do appreciate it!

A java applet would be appropriate and i have looked in to making one of these.
Sorry i forgot to mention.

Are applets difficult to create? I would say my java skills are alright, but no where near expert.
