Thanks, Herbert.
If it's not too much trouble, please send me a simple example of your code along side graphics. Sounds interesting.

Hi Michael,
Squeak is the Smalltalk programming environment which has been used to create Etoys (and Scratch).
Saving a Project is indeed kaputt since the introduction of environments in Squeak 4.5 but to be fixed.
Tile scripting is particular to Squeak (vs. other Smalltalks) and has been much improved in Etoys and is the main paradigm there. That is why Bert suggested it to you. But you can break into Etoys to get the raw underlying Squeak (Bert would know how).
Back to your Question:
What would I use Squeak for?
Developing Smalltalk applications of any kind. The whole object
orientation thing was made popular by Smalltalk and the term was coined by a (the?) Inventor of Smalltalk, Alan Kay. Personally I use projects as a creativity tool (a drawing beside the code to illustrate what it does) in my Smalltalk development. And as multiple desktops like Linux has, just so much more powerful :-))
Cheers,
Herbert
