Thanks Marcus! Auf http://mrtopf.tv/vlog/ gibt es die drei Teile, leider fehlt beim letzten das Ende. Bin mal gespannt, ob und bis wann die Python Leute Alan in die Lage versetzen, ähnliche Vorträge zu halten... ;-) Viele Grüße, Markus Begin forwarded message: > From: Marcus Denker <denker(a)iam.unibe.ch> > Date: July 21, 2006 12:25:27 PM GMT+02:00 > To: Markus Gaelli <gaelli(a)iam.unibe.ch> > Subject: python keynote video > > http://mrtopf.tv/vlog/2006/07/europython-2006-keynote-by-alan-kay.html

I googled for python IDEs today and found http://wiki.python.org/moin/IntegratedDevelopmentEnvironments and there the most up to date IDE shootout of http://spyced.blogspot.com/2005/09/review-of-6-python-ides.html and http://spyced.blogspot.com/2006/02/pycon-python-ide-review.html I have to say that I was not impressed. The IDEs were either not free: Wing, Komodo and in the future PyDev based on Qt (Eric4) had no liberal license (Gnu! ): SPE couldn't eat their own dog food as they were based on Java: PyDev or didn't have convincing screenshots: DrPython Alan, which python IDE would you suggest us to widen our perspectives for ourselves, the job market and for helping to make the world a better place - if it is not Squeak? Cheers, Markus p.s. another blog about Alan's talk can be found on http://vanrees.org/weblog/archive/2006/07/03/europython-keynote-alan- kay-children-first p.p.s. inspired by Paul Bissex - a guy who once wrote a small article about squeak for Wired - challenge on: http://e-scribe.com/news/193 I wrote an Etoys version of this "reverse"-game. It can be found on http://www.squeakland.org/project.jsp?http://www.emergent.de/pub/ smalltalk/squeak/projects/reverse.pr (I hope you all have the squeakland plugin installed... ;-) ) It has only a few lines more than the smalltalk (I included a smalltalk version), python, ruby,... version but comes with a much more sophisticated user interface. So I do think that Etoys are the way to go... no matter what the language is underneath - be it smalltalk/python/ruby/etc...

Have a look at animations eg. http://www.squeakland.org/pdf/etoys_n_authoring.pdf Make a holder with all colors respectively shapes etc, and change the color respectively let it look like the according color of the shape at the index of that other holder. (Hide that holder if necessary). Change the index of the cursor of that other holder according to the hunger/illness etc. Meta hint: Post this kind of etoys questions _also_ to the squeakland mailing list. > > We're doing an 'Arts Week' based on a woodland theme every afternoon > this week, and my slot is tomorrow.

Don't understand exactly, but you can get a random tile by pressing on the label of the object in any script. Hope that helps, Cheers, Markus > > John. > _______________________________________________ > Beginners mailing list > Beginners(a)lists.squeakfoundation.org > http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/beginners
