Hi together,
I am new to this list. So perhaps I should introduce myself. I am 25 year old german student studying congitive neuroscience in Utrecht/Netherlands. I want to use squeak /etoys mainly for exploring and visualizing some ideas in a quick way.
Right now I want to build a prototype for an experiment and think that this is a good project to learn a bit more about squeak.
I want to program a sequence of objects appearing on different positions on the screen one after the other and later in a random order. A very dirty way to do so is just script doing something like. object1 show. script wait for 1000ms. object1 hide object2 show script wait for 1000ms.
I know that this is a very basic question but couldn't find the answer, as I don't know what it is I am looking for.
Waiting inside a script is not supported in this version of etoys. What you can do instead is this:
script ticking once a second, for an object with a variable named i * increase i by 1 * Test i = 1 Yes: obj1 show * Test i = 2 Yes: obj1 hide, obj2 show * Test i = 3 Yes: set i to 0
