... if we should start with a screen with clouds or a blank screen?) but the code should be almost in good shape.
I prefer the plain screen (say chalkboard green) for World. A plain screen drives home the point that Squeak is a medium like board/chalk, canvas/brush and paper/pencil. The clouds and car look nice in a demo but get in the way when a chlid starts exploring the world.
Thank you for the input, Subbu. Yes, we say something like this ("This is *your* new world. Make your own things!"), but the downside is that many teachers want to see something to explain from the beginning. At this point, we probably go with clouds.
