Thanks for the tips. I've saved them for later digestion. I've fallen
behind on expert system technology apparently.<s>
However, the point isn't really to build an expert system. I've been
teaching my son with Squeak for a while, and it was only the combination
of PopUpMenu and the aforementioned chart that ignited his interest. He
saw something he could imitate and extend/expand. So the fact that it's a
sort-of expert system is incidental.
Where we're actually going, at least from all the signs, is an adventure
game. And he's expressed an interest in doing a roguelike. (I'd kill for a
smalltalk text interface right about now....)
Intriguingly, he doesn't really relate to eToys, and while we've used
Stephane's Bots book to great effect, he's actually much more comfortable
coding in the full Squeak. Strange.
