Hi, Squeak is really cool so far, but I have finally hit a snag I can't seem to figure out, and I think it may have something to do with the fact that I am attempting to run the SBE on a slightly newer version of Squeak maybe?

I am on page 43 of the SBE book and I get the following syntax error when I follow this instruction:

"In a workspace, type SBEGame new openInWorld and do it ."

Thanks!

When I go to http://www.squeaksource.com/SqueakByExample I see that the example code for the book is available.

I click on Tools in Squeak and select MonticelloBrowser. I then hit AddRepository, click HTTP, and then add SqueakByExample after http://www.squeaksource.com in location:. I accept and close the window. Click Open. In the new window click SBE-Quinto on the left. Then press Load.

Now open a Workspace. Type:

SBEGame new openInWorld

highlight it and do it. Then you'll see the game.
This was in a 4.4 alpha build number #12186, which is very recent. So, as far as I cans see, the Quinto game mentioned on pg. 43 of SBE still works.
