Btw, this and others are linked from:

http://squeak.org/documentation/

but maybe that’s not visible enough?

(Sorry, darn keyboard shortcut sent that before I'd finished.  )

Best to regress to Squeak 3.9 while doing the tutorial, then if you
like, upgrade your game to current version.

I think Steve Wessels LaserGame is a great general tutorial, which
also covers Morphic.

[Newbies] help with morphic

2016-05-19 Thread Joseph Alotta 
Greetings,

I am having trouble getting started with Morphic.  I tried the tutorial on 
squeak.org and found it too hard to follow.  Now I have morphs on my screen and 
I don’t know how to close them.

I looked for videos on Morphic and found only a technical comparison of 
changes.  Is there a video designed for beginners that someone not an egghead 
can follow?

Sincerely,

Joe.___
