...no not really, but programmed Euclidean interactive figure is fun! See some thought on the subject https://gna.org/bugs/?10737 and implementation. Also it looks like Squeak is capable to crunch a lot of computation. In the interactive spiral in the video bellow, DrGeo handles 328 computed geometric object in very reactive time. I need to test that on the OLPC! http://squeak.ofset.org/drgeo/spiral.ogg The curious can download the on going work from SqueakSource at http://www.squeaksource.com/DrGeoII -- http://blog.ofset.org/hilaire Smalltalkers do: [:it | All with: Class, (And love: it)]

[Etoys] Fwd: [Localization] Call for translators for Spanish
by Rafael Enrique Ortiz Guerrero 23 Jan '08

23 Jan '08

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Sayamindu Dasgupta <sayamindu(a)gmail.com> Date: Jan 23, 2008 9:14 AM Subject: [Localization] Call for translators for Spanish To: localization mailing list <localization(a)lists.laptop.org> Hi all, As most of you may know, a significant part of the deployment has been going on in the Spanish speaking nations, and hence, it would be really great if Spanish translations for the Update 1 release are as complete as possible. Already the Spanish team has been doing a great job, but as the number of strings that are out there is not trivial, they could do with some help. So, if you speak Spanish, here's your chance to make a contribution to the project. Just sign up at Pootle (http://dev.laptop.org/translate), and start filling in the gaps that are there. If you face any problems, feel free to ask in the localization mailing list[1], or on IRC (#olpc-pootle on Freenode). There's also a guide on how to use Pootle (by the OpenOffice.org people) at http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Pootle_User_Guide Thanks, Sayamindu [1] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/localization -- Sayamindu Dasgupta [http://sayamindu.randomink.org/ramblings] _______________________________________________ Localization mailing list Localization(a)lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/localization -- Rafael Enrique Ortiz Guerrero One Laptop Per Child rafael(a)laptop.org

[Etoys] portuguese in pootle
by Jecel Assumpcao Jr 22 Jan '08

22 Jan '08

I took a look at the Pootle pages today and noticed that it indicates 0% for eToys in the Portuguese(Brazil) version: https://dev.laptop.org/translate/pt_BR/etoys/ For the European Portuguese version the situation is much better at 51%: https://dev.laptop.org/translate/pt/etoys/index.html Looking at some of the phrases, however, I can see that this second file should really be pt_br instead since things like "file" were translated to "arquivo" rather than "ficheiro". I suppose it is easy enough to just copy one file to the other and so jump from 0% to 51% for pt_br, which is important for meeting the Update.1 deadline. But it seems to me that any changes after that will make the two files diverge. I am not familiar with Pootle - does it have any kind of inheritance mechanism? The difference between pt and pt_br would be so small that dealing with them separately means effectively doing all the work twice. -- Jecel

[Etoys] Sugar vs. Etoys questions
by Karl 20 Jan '08

20 Jan '08

I've been tinkering with the XO and it a nice machine. Etoys run fine but there are a few rough edges. Quiting Etoys is always a little painful because it saves the current project and that takes what feels like a long time. Could that be done in another way, like leaving the Etoys process and let it finish in the background ? ( I know it's possible to move the mouse to a corner and get the Sugar border thing but if it was done automatically it would give a less painfully slow feel :-)) Getting stuff into Etoys from the Journal is hard. Say you have two images, a sound etc. you want to use in a project it's not obvious how to do that. I guess copy and paste from the Journal is the Sugar way, but I'm not fully convinced. How hard would it be to show Journal contents in the filtering FileList tool ? Karl

Hi, Stef and list. I attached updated version with working menu as first step. It still needs to adjust appearance though (font settings and layout) ... Folks, please try it ! Note: To minimize changes I just put "Preferences disable: #eToyFriendly" to postscript of project as I wrote in http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/etoys/2008-January/001753.html. This time I packaged it manually on etoys2.2 for build653. I will try again with Bert's packager after update.1 is released. Cheers, /Korakurider

[Etoys] Questions on etoys based activity
by Korakurider 19 Jan '08

19 Jan '08

Hi, Bert. I am trying your DiceWars xo bundle to understand developing etoys-based activity (and to study how to translate activities). Please let me newbie ask : + On my B4 (with Build650/Q2D07), the activity wouldn't start (I waited a few minutes and gave it up). I installed it by sending *.xo to myself by gmail and just download from gmail on XO :-) ("To install an activity" of http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activities says that launching from Journal entry is needed to complete installing. But I just downloaded it and activity appeared in task bar) Am I doing wrong? (ok, I will try again with the proper installation step in http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Creating_an_activity) Or Do I need to upgrade my box to newer unstable release? Or Is launching etoys-based activity incredibly slow? + How can I know home path of currently running activity in etoys code? By the information I can tweak to search path for activity MOs. Any hint will be appreciated. Thanks in advance! /Korakurider
