<br>Because of the Tweak used in this project, the quickest, easiest way to<br>resurrect it would be to use a base of OpenQwaq or Cobalt. Rewriting the UI<br>to use Morphic would not be too hard though, for a single user environment.<br>
</pre></div></div></div></div></div></blockquote><div>Yes, but it will be great if we could have this project in mainstream Squeak4.4 base image, where the current development process is going on. Anyway, Tweak is a huge step forward in GUI building, with it's simplicity, clarity and Croquet ready functionality. And these days I have tried to load TweakCore and TweakExtras on Squeak 4.4, and with some modifications it's seems to be working! So, alongside with CroquetGL package your project, just should be run on current Squeak. I'll try to do it, and share the results.<br>

So, for doing that we have Andreas's WebServer with websocket support and CroquetGL on the Squeak side, and ThreeJS (or GLGE) on the client side, hosted at the same WebServer or Seaside app. More over, it will be better to stream just onto the novel Virtual World Framework, Croquet compatible.<br>
