Hi all
He took me at least 10 min to be able to open it (I'm really terrible with user interfaces) but the result is quite cool.
please find a list of bugs/questions/suggestions after playing with my laptop (which is quite cool).
OLPC Bug: ------------ - I clicked on the mess network then on the small triangle with represent my wifi and I got a window to type the login. I typed the login in, but I could never get the Ok button letting me to press it. :(
Etoy Bugs: ------ - etoy projects may get in your way: they can stay over the first etoy window and you do not know how to get rid of them. of course there is the halos but it feels strange.
- when I do load, click on OLPC, get a dialog window, click cancel, I get a primitive fail with a debugger.
Suggestion: ------------ - Is there any plans to have access to the squeak games: SameCell, tetris and chess. Because a chess program would be cool on this machine. I could open the sameGame because I could get access to the menu: - the size of the square are a bit too small.
- This is a pity that the Squeak classes have so few comments because I'm sure a kid could get alone the SameGame new openInWorld but if it would be explained. I think that there is a huge opportunity that such a "details" can break.
- I was wondering why stuff like skipLists are still in this image. I'm sure that we could have a much better contents that kids could really explore.
- Will DrGeo be buried in the Etoy projects ? Because this would be better to put it as a separate entry. DrGeo can definitively be a first class application on such a machine.
Questions for BotsInc. -------------------------
- I removed all references to the file system but when I play with the simple drawing tool I could save drawing to files. So is it possible or not to save files?
- I wanted to load my botsInc project so I put it naively on a USB stick but how can I access it. I could not from a load from the load your project list
- Using the fileList I tried to use usbdev1.2_ep02 and some others but I failed? Is there a way?
I feel that there is a huge potential to see the ideas of alan becoming true at different level (etoys, Smalltalk skin onion model) and I have the impression that the Smalltalk part could be made easier to access.
