[Etoys] Sample scenarios for intros, tutorials, etc.
by Alan Kay 11 Oct '06

11 Oct '06

Hi Folks -- Let's think about what we need and/vs what we can do, and when .... What we need is something that combines the old morphic score player with the Event Recorder, etc., Etc. We've talked about this for years, but haven't done one. A scenario here is to 1. record the painting of the red car and making the forward by, turn by script for it. 2. we want to see this record laid out end to end in some readable form. It could be left to right scrolling (most normal) as in the ScorePlayer, or it could be top to bottom scrolling, etc. 3. We should be able to insert pauses, trim places where it takes too long, etc. 4. We need to lay in other events. The ScorePlayer does some of this. E.g. it will (or it used to) fire off a button placed on it when the cursor crossed the button. This can trigger other useful things, like new text appearing and disappearing, Voice Overs, effects, etc. So one practical question here is whether the ScorePlayer could be adapted to take on events from the EventRecorder and actually be the player for the EventRecorder ....? This could give us a lot of useful functionality pretty easily ... Cheers, Alan

[Etoys] New Paint brush feature.
by Takashi Yamamiya 11 Oct '06

Hello, I added new feature for paint tool in 1041DrawBackground-tak.cs. You can draw something on background of existing painting. It is effective to mimic like water color painting. It would help contents author rather than children. It was one of Alan's request list. - Start paint tool by brush icon in Navigator flap or repaint handle. - Choose color and brush size. - Draw something. - Choose another color. - Draw something with Shift + drag. I understand such Shift + drag is bad and unsophisticated. It should need proper UI in PaintBox widget. But the deadline for OLPC is very soon, so I gave up to put new button in there now. Cheers, - Takashi

[Etoys] Updating to latest sugar
by Bert Freudenberg 11 Oct '06

If you are running one of the olpc developer builds, you can update to the latest Sugar using yum: yum update sugar olpc-artwork olpc-librsvg2 matchbox-window-manager This avoids having to download and flash a completely new build. I'm running build91 (the latest stable) from internal flash, which is much more reliable than booting from USB on the A-test board. - Bert -
