Cool stuff! From tiles to code in, um, one easy step! I couldn't resist
playing with it right away.
A couple of questions pop up, however:
Scenario (3.0g3 image updated to 3.1a3636): I have a simple car sketch,
and a script with my usual "Sketch turnby 5" and "Sketch forwardby 5"
old-style PhraseTiles. I then switch it to new-style SyntaxMorph textual
tiles. I marvel at the "Sketch1" -> "self" conversion.
Q1: How does the contrast HandleMorph (blue swatch) work? From glancing at
the code, its x should affect the contrast, no? However, that doesn't seem
to have a visual effect yet... (Also, it seems to turn off the red swatch
style choice.)
Q2: How would I go about moving (and removing) tile groups in the new
style? Grabbing and dragging tiles and tile groups always drags a
copy. Hmm. The northeast arrow that appears when a tile group is selected
might do that -- but no: Grabbing that I get a #detect: failure in
SyntaxMorph>>retract.
I see that it's all still in flux, and further tweaks are probably already
in the pipeline.
Just curious,
Helge
