I've not been using MC1 in a while.
And mere curiosity has me wondering how to turn a game application from a well packaged snapshot into an mcz package and then how to turn it back into a well packaged snapshot again.
The game for this exercise is dicewars.
The exercise is for learning only and to satisfy my curiosity (as always).
The game is one of those available for the oplc.
Small projects for Squeak on the $100 laptop page at:
http://www.swa.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/projects/olpc/
It runs on 3.9 and 3.10 (7121) as well as the oplc image and presumably 3.8.
It is a nice game and I have enjoyed playing it.
So to play it requires being downloaded. Then gunziped. from .gz format. Then drag and drop the .st file onto a open squeak window. Select the first option (load into a separate change set.)
Get a new Objects tool from the world menu>>objects... There will be a games button and a red die will be there for you to select. Bringing up the game.
However for this exercise we are not here to play the game but to findout how to save it as a MC object.
And here's where I'm stuck.
I can bring up a MC browser. But it contains no info on the DiceWars system catagory.
What is available to me to inform MC that I now want this to be a MC package?
What's the most elegant way to do this?
Yours in curiosity and service, --Jerome Peace
