[Newbies] Morph Drop Shadows
HI David H. Shanabrook,
As Bert says the trick is to move the morph w/o lifting it. One general way to do that with any morph is the brown halo handle.
The other is to create a morph that behaves the way you want. I had started some work which I had hope to apply to moving block puzzles.
I wrote a little about it Here: http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/squeak-dev/2007-May/116371.html
And posted my work in progress code to bob's super swiki
http://209.143.91.36/super/728 MovingPiece-wiz
The codes in the form of a 3dot9 project. Load the project and look at the change set for it.
Also earlier related work on puzzleboards modified a pasteup morph to prevent overlapping pieces:
http://209.143.91.36/super/634 Puzzleboards
The code is in both project form (for an old 3.7 squeak) and as change sets. The change set should work in 3.9 and probably a recent 3.8 (if they fixed the bug mentioned)
You will need to adapt it to apply to pentomino's
Hth.
Yours in curiosity and service, --Jerome Peace

In that case it's surely simplest to add the mouse
handling to your
pentomino tiles.

and what is the
shape, especially for kids.

The Hand draws a shadow of all morphs it is

not leave that

method to not draw
the shadow (possibly in a subclass).
May I ask what you need this for?

It is the temporary shadow that appears when I
pick the morph
that I want to eliminate. I am using 3.9
although I can switch
to an older version if it would help.

Can I change the pick up a morph so that it
doesn't have a
shadow? I tried in the morph menu to drop shadow: show
shadow, but this
doesn't work. It doesn't affect the morph whether the
show shadow is
checked or not.
Which version is your image? For drop shadow to
be visible, make
sure the drop shadow color is different from the background
and the offset is
non-zero.
The drop shadow (in halo menu) is different from
the temporary
shadow that appears when you 'pick' the morph.
