More than 256 literals referenced.
by Robert Stehwien 24 Jul '07

24 Jul '07

What is the source of the error produced by the following code? ---------- initialize table := OrderedCollection new. "there are 100 entries like what is below" table add: ({ #value->2. #cost->-3. #step->2. #defense->3. #combatMove->7. #fullMove->14. #carry->10. #lift->20. #death->20. #unconscious->11. #woundThreshold->4. #recovery->0.5. #mysticArmor->0. } as: Dictionary). ---------- More than 256 literals referenced. You must split or otherwise simplify this method. The 257th literal is: 4360 ---------- I'm trying to create a data table for a program and I'm wondering if I'm limited to 256 literals per class or method. I tried initilizing the table in multiple methods (setting 50 per method) but get the same error. I'll probably just put the data in a database and do the lookup when needed or load the table from a file. But I wanted to know the source of the problem. Thanks, Robert

Refactoring into Packages
by Richard Eng 23 Jul '07

23 Jul '07

How do I move some of the classes from one package into a new package? For example, I currently have package 'GSNApp', with lots and lots of classes. I want to create a package called 'GSNApp-DB' and move all the classes that have to do with the database into it. Looking at all the Squeak menus, I can't see any way to do this. Thanks,Richard _________________________________________________________________ Explore the seven wonders of the world http://search.msn.com/results.aspx?q=7+wonders+world&mkt=en-US&form=QBRE

Style menu
by Chris Kassopulo 23 Jul '07

23 Jul '07

Greetings, The "set font" and "set style" menu entries point to similar menus for font selection. Set font gives access to point sizes. Style implies emphasis like bold or italic. Is there a true style menu lurking anywhere? Chris

code completion

In one of the images I played around with it had code completion, I don't remember which version it was. Is there a way to enable it in v3.9?

Laser game tutorial again
by gruntfuttuck 21 Jul '07

21 Jul '07

I have tried very hard to sort this out but now I think I need help. At lease I'm getting to know the debugger. The relavent page is: http://squeak.preeminent.org/tut2007/html/022.html Here are two file outs: http://www.nabble.com/file/p11721901/Laser-Game-Model.st Laser-Game-Model.st http://www.nabble.com/file/p11721901/Laser-Game-Tests.st Laser-Game-Tests.st I'm getting three errors with the Test Runner. It would seem that a BlankCell object doesn't understand the message exitSides: Or do I actually. It looks like it should be: initializeExitSides self exitSides := Dictionary new. not initializeExitSides self exitSides: Dictionary new. Is this another way to do assignment? Anyway it's not working and that's how the tutorial says to do it. I'm really curious to what the problem is. Can anyone enlighten me? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Laser-game-tutorial-again-tf4121699.html#a11721901 Sent from the Squeak - Beginners mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Defining a class at runtime
by Louis Moon 20 Jul '07

Using the same syntax as for System Browser class definition was actually the first thing I tried, but I must have screwed it up somehow (and then I mistakenly ruled it out). It works now. Thanks guys.

Re-2: [Newbies] Defining a class at runtime
by Frank Urbach 20 Jul '07

I think you mean building a class from within an instance of a class. The whole environment is the runtime but things we see happen as instances of some classes like eg. SystemWindows you may feel as the "runtime". Just my 2 cents Cheers, Frank >On 7/20/07, Bert Freudenberg <bert(a)freudenbergs.de> wrote: >>On Jul 20, 2007, at 11:31 , Marcin Tustin wrote: >> >> >> On 7/20/07, Bert Freudenberg <bert(a)freudenbergs.de> wrote: On Jul >> 20, 2007, at 8:52 , Louis Moon wrote: >> ...and yes, of course, there is a runtime. >Well, you could say there is only runtime.

Defining a class at runtime
by Louis Moon 20 Jul '07

20 Jul '07

Hello. I've been playing around with Squeak the last couple of days, and I've found it pretty easy to use so far. However, I can't figure out how to do this (I'm trying mostly out of curiousity). I suspect it had something to do with the ClassBuilder class, but I can't figure out its usage. How's it done? Thanks for any help.

Hi, I was wondering, does Squeak have a speech recognition (SR) interface or something in the works to support (SR)? Thanks in advance, -Conrad
