Hi <BR>
<BR>
I'm sure good squeakers will reply to you. <BR>
If you want to be connected with European Smalltalkers and Squeakers, register at www.esug.org this is free and low traffic.<BR>
<BR>
But we organize a really excellent and friendly user conference every year. <BR>
This was last week..... ;)<BR>
<BR>
Have fun with Smalltalk. You can find some column I wrote on Squeak in french on my web page<BR>

<FONT SIZE="2"><FONT FACE="Arial">I've been using Squeak for a couple of weeks and I like it a lot. It's my first Smalltalk experience. I've just finished writing a version of the classic Snake game in Morphic, and I thought some other beginners might benefit from my code, and enjoy the game. Is there a repository for this type of stuff?</FONT></FONT> <BR>

<FONT SIZE="2"><FONT FACE="Arial">Also, I'm plannning to rewrite in Morphic an Image processing system I wrote in C++. This would include a TIFF reader/writer (I haven't found one in the 3.0 image) and some morphological image processing operations. From browsing classes and reading the source code for the Demos, I think that for displaying images I should use ImageMorphs. Correct?</FONT></FONT> <BR>

<FONT SIZE="2"><FONT FACE="Arial">What is slowing me is actual pixel manipulation. I see three classes relevant for this: Bitmap, Form and BitBlt. I'm learning them form reading source code, but I'd work faster with some documentation.</FONT></FONT> <BR>

<FONT SIZE="2"><FONT FACE="Arial">Is there some documentation on these classes? Maybe in some of the books, say Goldberg and Robson?</FONT></FONT> <BR>
