Alright, I'm too impatient to release MASCOTJuggler, so I'm releasing a (url="http://"http://homepage.mac.com/pcheese/MASCOTJuggler/MJ0310preview.sit")small preview version(/url) now. There is enough documentation to get you started.

I know it says there was an error when you quit, but I didn't take the time to fix that. I have exams this week. If it gets annoying, grab (url="http://"http://www.satimage-software.com/")Smile(/url) or some other AppleScript editor that accepts scripts of more than 32k and change the line in the quit handler that reads

if CleanUpDD() then display dialog …

to just

CleanUpDD()

Why didn't I do that myself? I have my reasons. =D

Anyway, here's a sample from the (url="http://"http://homepage.mac.com/pcheese/MASCOTJuggler")MASCOTJuggler web page(/url) (under construction):

Tired of manually switching between dozens of level files, sprite files, or other game elements? Then MASCOTJuggler is the answer!

The completely rewritten version of this little applet is now publicly available. Due to the previous versions' ugly and difficult-to understand interface, limited updates, and slow code, version 3.0 has been rewritten from the ground up. It boasts a new set of options, such as resolution switching and online updates, that are all presented in an easy-to-access interface; that is, if you want to see them. A single click of the expansion triangle exposes or hides the advanced and less-used options to reduce screen clutter while maintaining ease-of-use. These advanced dialog tools are brought to AppleScript with the freeware scripting additions Dialog Director (a required component of MASCOTJuggler).

So go to (url="http://"http://homepage.mac.com/pcheese/MASCOTJuggler/MJ0310preview.sit")http://homepage.mac....0310preview.sit(/url) and download MASCOTJuggler today!
Please report bugs to pcheese@mac.com.
Oh, and I'm aware that MJ was written with AppleScript 1.8.x, which Apple has advised against. I'm working on recompiling it with AS 1.6.x, and that should fix a few problems.

New version
This version addresses several issues, both minor and major, and adds a few new features.

Here are the most important changes:
{BUG} MJ will no longer ignore your selection in the popup menu and activate the first level.
{CODE} Errors are handled more thoroughly and code is slightly faster
{NEW} Startup section to toggle splash screen and variable verification

So this is a very important update unless you use only one level set (which destroys MJ's purpose). Get it at (url="http://"http://homepage.mac.com/pcheese/MASCOTJuggler/MJ0310.sit")http://homepage.mac....gler/MJ0310.sit(/url) or click the "update now" button within MJ. Oh, and you may want to Export then Import your settings.
Sorry, but I'm still working on the help files. One last exam Monday and then I'm done!

Someone give their opinion on this, I'm interested as to its reception.

It's pretty spiffy, but I'll only start using it once the OS X version is out. It doesn't work for me in classic.

Unfortunately I don't have OS X right now, and it's hard to develop for a platform you don't have. I'll be getting Jaguar when it comes out, so you'll have to wait for that plus the time it takes me to learn AppleScript Studio. But considering what I've heard about AS Studio, it'll be well worth the wait.
