[Newbies] moving eye in squeak

Hello,

A couple of the good replies you've already received instruct you to  
browse the "MovingEyeMorph" class.

But perhaps you are wondering how you could have discovered this on  
your own, so that the next time you're curious about how something  
works, you might not need to be told a magic class name by someone else.

So try this:  bring up the halo on a moving eye (alt-click on it)  
click on the "debug menu" halo handle (wrench icon, just below the  
green handle,) choose "browse class".  This will open a browser  
pointed at the class that implements the eyes; from this, you will  
learn that it is called MovingEyeMorph.

Of course, many things you see on the screen are complex, nested  
structures, and the code underlying them might be in more than one  
place.  But if you can actually see an object on the screen and want  
to start to investigate it, you can often get at the object's code  
quickly by interacting directly with the object via its halo in this  
manner.

Cheers,

  -- Scott
