On 16/03/07, Ron Teitelbaum [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: http://code.google.com/soc/ Ron I notice that there are projects in the SOC list for wxWidgets and wxPython. I wonder if anyone would be prepared to mentor a student to bring wxSqueak up to date with 3.9/3.10? I don't know if this is a trival or a major task, but it would be a good opportunity to ensure that any work on wxWidgets helps resolve any integration issues that wxSqueak has (if any). I've played with wxSqueak and thought that it was fun to use, but would feel happier to start using it in anger if I could just load it in to an image from SqueakMap. Does anyone actually use wxSqueak? Would it be useful to make it a full citizen?

Re: [Newbies] Re: Squeak - for a different Summer of Code!
Hi all, I'm a newbie on Squeak and I have been using only eToys and BotsInc environment for teaching introductory courses on Informatics. But I think that would be nice a project which combines content creation for the OLPC image of Squeak with the creation/adaptation of tools for making that content more easy for authoring and localization to multiple languages. This would be a project not centered on code but is going from content to code and from software to humanware (part of the project is using the OLPC image to create content with children of schools). Do you think that there is a place for such proposal in SOC (Google is a sponsor of OLPC project). ¿Some one would be willing to mentor it?

Re: [Newbies] Populate a new array.

An Object in the virtual machine resembles an array of instance variables, and that method assigns to an instance variable by number. Wrong. Any Squeak object is made of zero or more instance variables (named variables) plus zero or more numbered variables (indexed variables). The difference is that the number of named variables is fixed for all objects of that class, but the number of indexed variables can be specified when creating an instance using #new:, so it can differ from instance to instance. Objectat: lets you access those indexed variables. How else would you access these? It's not often useful (and downright dangerous if you ask me) Huh? It provides the very basics of the system! If we Smalltalkers say everything is an Object we mean it. Literally. There is no special array object that is different from regular objects. Rather, you can implement an array as an object that happens to have indexed variables: Object variableSubclass: #BertsArray instanceVariableNames: '' classVariableNames: '' poolDictionaries: '' category: 'Bert-Arrays'. (BertsArray new: 7) at: 5 put: 42 Thanks, Bert. I can't believe I've been Smalltalking for so many years and not known that! I always just assumed that arrays were some special case handled by the VM, like SmallIntegers.

Re: [Newbies] Morphic event-handling confusion
Max OrHai wrote: handlesMouseStillDown: evt ^ true mouseStillDown: evt self position: evt hand position. These apparently don't do anything. But, that's OK, because I can, as Bert suggested, just send evt hand #grabMorph: self. Except, oops, that's NOT OK, because now mouseUp: apparently never gets sent to my Morph. So, I still need help. Thank you both very much. They worked for me - I was dragging a Morph around, and had readouts for the start and end positions of the dragging. Try making a completely fresh subclass of Morph with only the methods I suggested. I used Squeak 3.9. If I was going to implement momentum, I'd take the current position on mouseUp: and the position received by the very latest mouseStillDown:, and work out which vector the puck should travel in from that. I suppose you'd also need the times of those two events as well to calculate the velocity vector.
