Reading Worlds in Karel
(this is true for most IDEs - in BlueJ, you'll need full path)
Creating Worlds in Karel
BlueJ Fans
If using only the file name in the readWorld statement (e.g.,World.readWorld("ch2_9.wld")), then this physical file must be in the same directory as your .class files. You can, alternatively, use the whole path to the file (e.g., World.readWorld("c:\\myWorlds\\ch2_9.wld")
just execute the .jar - a GUI will pop open and you can draw yourself a world - if you're interested in creating the world with programming statements, see the World class in the API
See my BlueJ IDE page for easiest way to have students start Karel projects - or any type of project for that matter.

Newest KarelJRobot.jar
There is a newer .jar available from Joe Bergin. At this point, the only thing new is that you'll use "UrRobot" instead of "ur_Robot".
