[Newbies] Problems running Pharo

2010-11-02 Thread Douglas Naka


Hi everybody,

I am having problems when executing the vm using  the latin1 encoding. I am 
running it on Ubuntu 10.10. Aways when I open  the file browser and I get this 
error: invalid utf8 input detected.

-encoding latin1

But this error happens only in this OS.
I have tested it in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and I don't get this error. Does anyone 
can 
help me, please?

Thanks
Naka

Re: [Newbies] Isometric 2D (serious) games develoment on Squeak/Pharo

 Hi all,

This is taking the form of a metagame that will be taking the form of a 
chatbot + chat program. Any advice on both kind of software will be 
appreciated.


Cheers,

 Hi All,

Long time without being here, so is nice to be back. For my last 
project I'm wondering about 2D isometric games and after some 
preliminary finding I would like to use may be Python/Pygame or 
Squeak(or Pharo). I have found enough information about game creation 
on Python, but not on Squeak, specially regarding 2D isometric games.


The idea is that each player lives in a post-apocalyptic world where 
you need to re-create the world. For that you live in a bio-nano-tech 
farm-lab where you can create plants, animals, and other stuff and 
test how it works in a mini-ecosystem to prototype that possible word. 
You work off-line in your own farm-lab, but you can go on-line and 
trade designs with other players to create a shared world or make test 
with their stuff from/in their farms-labs. The game will be free 
software so people can create their own variations and is intended as 
a serious game[1] where you can play just for fun but also learn and 
work with other people solving real problems using games and simulation.

I would like some advice about how Squeak/Pharo fists the problem of 
making and 2D isometric game about this idea with characters, chat 
support between them, networking, using external stuff not made 
with/in Squeak (like svg support or external libraries and programs) 
and so on (some times I think in this like Croquet ultralite). I'm 
some kind of ethernal newbie on a lot of Informatics themes (including 
programming), so learning curve is also important here.


Thanks,

Offray
