Restoring the default adult theme desktop
by Henry Lenzi 24 Jun '09

24 Jun '09

Hi -- I'm coming back to Squeak after some months using it to fool around and teach programming to my niece. Here's the problem: my image is completely filled with etoys and primary colors :-) and I don't have a clue on how to restore the environment so that it has a more "adult" theme (I completely forgot how to do it and the menus don't help at all). Help is appreciated. TIA -- -------------------------------------------- Grato/Gracias/Grazie/Dankon/Danke/Merci/Thanks!

squeak eToys on the Acer Aspire One w/Linpus linux?
by Steinar Bang 19 Jun '09

19 Jun '09

Hi, I've just bought my kids (7 and 8 years old) Acer Aspire One netbooks with Linpus linux. I've found this useful link, that helped me "unlock" the Linpus, to let me install other applications (e.g. TuxType2 and TuxPaint). http://the.taoofmac.com/media/Acer/Aspire%20One/AA1notes.html However, neither squeak, nor eToys, were in the list of available applications in the installaller. A quick google search hasn't given me any obvious solutions. Has anyone on the list tried something similar? Linpus is Fedora based, but I'm not sure of the version (probably fairly old, though. The bundled Firefox is a 2.xx version). Pointers welcome! Thanx! - Steinar

>> >I doing some .mov recording beginners tutorials and wish put in some place. >> >Any favorites for this ? My modest LAN and lousy ISP cable modem is not so >> good .... I almost forget Morphle.com could host this. So , in http://www.morphle.com/~edgar/UsingSqueakSource.mov you have the first showing how use SqueakLightIi, SqueakSource and have a working code + music + morph + etc thing. Same could be done with MinimalMorphic, with a few easy to fix glitches. Enjoy and wait for more Edgar

Long time ago, before Ralph ask me to help building 3.10, I have some in development I call ProcustesEnd. In fact, the first version of Rompecabezas into SqueakSource was saved in that. Recently i retake ProcustesEnd. Is a way to save .mcz as they was .sar and refactoring the .image and normal Ralph Monticello we have into 3.10 for dealing with this without people deep troubles. So , when I was in home do more .mov and saved into Morphle for all see the 1 2 3 of how doing same thing. Cheers. Edgar Yahoo!

Customizing wrapping in TextMorph
by Matthias Korn 10 Jun '09

10 Jun '09

Hi, I want to change the text-wrapping that is done in TextMorph (wrap after all non-letter characters (not only spaces), don't force-wrap long words). I could not find where or how the wrapping is actually done in TextMorph. Any pointers where I should look?

Network Game - Server Client Approach
by Martin Bleichner 07 Jun '09

07 Jun '09

Hi there, I am still looking for a way to program my network game (four players on four different computers collaboratively control the direction of one object, each is responsible to move the object in one of four directions.) I guess one solution would be a server-client approach. Each client sends a value to the server, the server collects the input of the four clients and returns the input of all four to each client. I figured that using the Komhttpserver package I can easily run a server. My problem is now is the communication between clients and server. How can I send a value from each client to the server and get back the inputs from all clients? Thanks a lot Martin This is how I run my server. | ma | ma := ModuleAssembly core. ma serverRoot: FileDirectory default fullName. ma documentRoot: FileDirectory default fullName. ma directoryIndex: 'index.html index.htm'. ma serveFiles. (HttpService startOn: 8080 named: 'httpd') plug: ma rootModule
