What technology can be used for animating a MIPS Pipeline?

For my Computer Architecture class, I have to create an Animated MIPS Pipeline Simulation with the colors and everything. Any idea which technology can be used to accomplish this? 开发者_JAVA技巧I can do the coding in several high-level languages but I have no idea how to do the animation (tool, library, templates). The animation must be interactive, the user should be able to enter actual MIPS assembly code, and the simulation demonstrate the path it takes using colors "One color for each type of instruction".

Thanks
