Abstract: Methods, systems and computer product for allowing flexible definition of appearance and behavior states for an interactive application. A state table includes a first dimension and a second dimension, the first dimension configured to identify at least one programming element and the second dimension configured to identify a plurality of states of the computer system. When a state table creation operating mode is activated and alteration of at least one programming element is identified, an operand is automatically stored in a cell at each intersection of the first dimension and the second dimension. Alterations that are identified include movement of a graphical object, changes of size, color, associated text, or other graphical feature of a graphical object.

Abstract: The current invention describes a virtual machine designed to run on a variety of platforms of varied capabilities, and in particular describes support in the coding and development environment for assessing and managing the variation in capability and performance among the platforms.

Abstract: The current invention describes a software methodology for simulating a virtual machine based upon a platform configuration which specifies in detail the capability of the qualitatively and quantitatively variable features of the hardware and software platforms being simulated. The configuration is used during the execution of the simulator to control the simulation process to faithfully mimic the behavior of a variety of platforms.
