I got an error here too, when I first did the example. I think I removed: self turnOff and the code worked. I was using the Cobalt image though. not sur if this helps.

I'm working through the Squeak by Example book and ran into a snag. The code on page 33 for the Quinto game is returning an error message. I have the SBECell selected and "-- all --" is highlighted in the right pane, just like in the book, but it responds with the message "Unknown variable: initialize please correct or cancel: / declare temp / declare instance / cancel".

So I guess it doesn't recognize "initialize" and thinks I'm trying to create a variable? According to the book it should be recognized.

Here's the code:

initialize super initialize. self label: ''. self borderWidth: 2. bounds := 0@0 corner: 16@16. offColor := Color paleYellow. onColor := Color paleBlue darker. self useSquareCorners. self turnOff

I even downloaded the code for the book from Squeaksource and pasted it in and it does the same thing.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
