The Simulator is for creating simulations of solving processes of problems developed by means of the Solution Sheet with the microworlds of ARI@ITALES. These simulations are later inserted in a course.
To create a simulation it is necessary to type the text of a problem to be associated with the simulation and to give a name to it.
Every action carried out in the Solution Sheet or in the microworlds to solve the problem is stored in a file of commands.
Besides, the simulator allows to insert vocal comments to illustrate aspects of the solving process.
The command file and the files of vocal comments are automatically memorized in a folder whose name is given by the user to the current simulation. The folder contains also a file able to launch the program (Player) that permits to review the simulation in a sort of movie.
