One idea would be to ask folks to use Richo's new step debugger a few times first, then guess what it does. This would get them introduced to the new tool and perhaps at least get them started on thinking through scripts one tile at a time. What folks think?

Also the page that explains the different parts of a scriptor (shown below) we should add Richo's single step debugger icon and fix the arrows.

In the following page when you get the script wrong (use turn by 5) and the key hits the skull, it "laughs at you" at least that was my impression (but I'm overly sensitive to criticism, which will being able to look for and accept honest well meaning criticism is a good thing, there may be other small children who could get turned off by the laughter). Perhaps another less "judgmental" sound, "splash" or "warble"?

There are also some pages where the text is covered by the scriptor, this would need to be fixed. My guess is the scaling somehow changed between when this was created and how it is now rendered.

Last question is for Kathleen (well really for Takashi as he created these and they are in beautifully done)

The background around the book is "gray" and the last two pages are different colors. Should we change the World's color?

Thanks,

Stephen

FYI: The original Demon Castle files are here and pictures of each page are here

Good, news, SQ-998 does not seem to be a problem in Etoys 5.0 (thanks to Karl and Derek for the fix).

Only thing left to be done is to "re-create" the Event Theater "show" where Mimi's face is drawn.

Bad news, I can't draw :(

Kathleen,

I have attached an updated version of the the Etoy's Castle 2 (we changed the name from Demon Castle in 4.0). Can you create an "Event Theatre" that draws Mimi's face as shown on page 5? The page to do it on is the one the project opens to, with the text "Oh, friend... My face has been erased by the evil demon!"

Only other issue is the Sugar Navigator Flap "renders differently" (open in Etoys 5.0 and you will see).

I tried copying the book to another project via the Supplies flap, which fixes the Navigator Flap issue, but the book's "size" shrinks when I do this.

I'll try and get Etoys Challenge 2 running in Etoys 5.0 and let you know if I see any issues.

I think the issue is that it uses the EventRecorder and that the color picker is not recorded as it should

What are the issues on part 2? Maybe we can fix them...

I recall that when we asked Takashi about the status of parts 2 and 3 of his popular "Demon Castle" tutorial, he said that while part 2 had issues, part 3 ought to be good to go as is. I just tried it out in RC1 and it seems fine… perhaps it should be included in the release?
