[Newbies] Undeclared variable issue
The following code doesn't execute in my Squeak workspace | n |n - 5 factorial.n printString because it insists that n is undeclared despite that I have declare the it in the first line of the 3 line code fragment. (I highlight all 3 lines and use the "do it" to execute it.) What is going here - this is valid Smalltalk syntax?

While at the moment I'm the only one posting, the blog will be the collective effort of the Squeak News team ( http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/news ). Joining the News team is also a good way for getting deep into the Squeak community. So if any of you would be interested in working on the Weekly Squeak (with articles, newsbits, interviews, reports), we'll be happy to have you on board.

Re: [Newbies] three button mice on windows and macs

And I can even change that if I go to preferences every time I switch. I just want to find out how I can avoid that inconvenience :) Basically the default mapping on windows and mac to the buttons of a 3-button mouse seems to be different, at least with the mice that I have. Can anyone confirm that with his mice perhaps or give me pointers where to fix this? I was similarly annoyed by this some time ago and created a Preference called swap mouse buttons or something like that. This will swap the middle and right button. To make Mac and Windows VMs behave the same, enable 3 button mouse in the Windows VM's F2 menu. This enables the historic mouse button assignment (left-middle-right, red-yellow-blue, primary-secondary-tertiary, item-context-meta, select-menu-halo) which predates both Mac and Windows. Because most Windows hackers expect the menu to appear on the right mouse button, by default yellow and blue buttons are swapped in the VM. [OT] To make the confusion perfect for VM hackers, Microsoft numbers the buttons 1-3-2 because originally it supported only two buttons (1-2) so the third button was inserted between the first and the second. In contrast, most workstations had at least three buttons from the start. The Mac used to have only one, but can deal with three or more fine nowadays. It uses several conflicting mappings of mouse buttons to button+modifier key assignments, which makes matters yet worse. - Bert - ___ Beginners mailing list Beginners@lists.squeakfoundation.org http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/beginners
Re: [Newbies] Making a Lemmings/Pingus Clone on Squeak
Hi Bert, thanks for your answer, Bert Freudenberg escribió: Is this going to be an Etoy project or a Smalltalk one? I don't know still which will be. ¿Can I start with some Etoys programming and then move to the underneath Smalltalk code? If Etoys, then you might want to look at the examples at squeakland.org, and also subscribe to that mailing list, which is specifically aimed at using Squeak in education. I'm already suscribed in the small-land list. I want to avoid the crossposting, because this is more responsive, but I will post on both list if there is no problem. Specifically, the Stair example from http://squeakland.org/kids/sqfest_2004.htm could give a hint how to move a lemming. Instead of erasing, you might use a large pen to draw in the background color. To make the pen trails appear on top of the drawn landscape, you might put the lemmings in a transparent playfield. - Bert - Thanks. I will see your recommended example, it's an interesting resource.

Re: [Newbies] The Weekly Squeak is back!
Hi Michael, I don't now if this is the proper place to ask. I'm really interested in Squeak and Sophie, so now that we're talking on the subject I would like to make some questions. Please if you have some other more proper place to ask about Sophie, please point me the place. Michael Rueger escribió: Hi, the web site for Sophie is http://sophieproject.org.

I have downloaded the build-6-32.zip http://impara.de/sophie/downloads/builds/build-6-32.zip and uncompress it. After that I open the image file with the usual squeak interpreter I get this error messages: MessageNotUnderstood: UndefinedObject AsURI and then I go to the opened workspace and I executed the first command and I get this: Error: A primitive has failed. and then it freezes.

[Newbies] MS Font gives Square box glyphs in TextMorphs: why?
Hi, I can type text into a TextMorph with a native Squeak font, and pressing return gives me what I desire, i.e. invisible newlines to space out my paragraphs. However, if I change the font to, say, Microsoft Comic Sans (which I installed by dragging and dropping the font file from a Windows Explorer onto the Squeak image), I get square boxes for the carriage return characters. Ugh. Can I make these square boxes invisible with this font, and if so, how? Using Squeak 3.8-6665 on Windows/XP. cheers, Simon ___ Beginners mailing list Beginners@lists.squeakfoundation.org http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/beginners
