Dear Kim Rose, I am very interested in joining you for SqueakFest. I realize that this is rather late notice; the web site states that registration is closed. I recently started working with Julian Lombardi at the University of Wisconsin on the Croquet project, and he would like me to attend if possible. Thank you, Philip Delaquess Clotho Advanced Media, Inc.

RE: Use "move toward" and then reset morph's position

Good job Dave, > I first have to add a tile to the script which references the Truck, > before I hand-write the moveToward line I missed mentioning that step. Sorry. > Squeak is deep! Well, it will soon become easier to add one's own tiles to expand eToy's functionality. At least with Squeak, even if it's deep, we can still see to the bottom!

Sorry. "move toward" is in www.squeak.org 3.6 version. I thought they had proceeded further in merging with the Squeakland 3.2 version. Attached are the different views. This swiki page has more on it: http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/522 Cheers, Darius -----Original Message----- From: Dave Briccetti [mailto:daveb@davebsoft.com] Sent: Thursday, July 22, 2004 8:25 PM To: Darius Clarke Subject: Re: Use "move toward" and then reset morph's position I can't find "move toward." "Forward by" and "turn by," yes. Help?

[NEWBIE] Video Streaming w/ Squeak Client?
by joseph＠techscribe.com 24 Jul '04

24 Jul '04

Hi Squeakers! As an old fan of Smalltalk (I first encountered Smalltalk as the "Methods" MS DOS implementation released by DigiTalk in the mid-eighties) I'm looking forward to using Squeak (browser-embedded and/or stand-alone) as a framework to build a client-side application that will display media rich forms including streaming video. Is there support for displaying video, similar to Squeak's built-in sound and 3-d animation support? Where is it documented? TIA, Joseph ------------------------------------------------- Mail sent from: 24.126.78.239

Hi, Joseph. Wow, you've been a Smalltalk fan for a very long time! There's no support in Squeak for video streaming over a network connection, as far as I know. There is support for Squeak to play old-style MPEG movies. (Note: it doesn't work with the newer MPEG-4 format as far as I know.) This is supported via the MPEG plugin, which runs on Windows and Macintosh for sure, and may run on Unix/Linux as well. To experiment, get a MoviePlayerMorph from the "new morph" menu. My information may be a little out of date; hopefully someone will jump in and correct me if I'm wrong. -- John

Squeak and EE
by Aaron Lanterman 01 Jul '04

Dear Kim and Assorted Central Squeakers, > In the meantime, we'd love your feedback on the experiences you had > this school year and we wish you all a marvelous summer! I'm an assistant professor of ECE at Georgia Tech; I'm starting my fourth year this Fall. One of the main courses I teach is ECE2025, which is our introductory course in EE, taken mostly by sophomores. It uses the text "Signal Processing First" (formerly "DSP First"), and makes heavy use of Matlab. The students have weekly labs in Matlab, and I myself have used Matlab almost exclusively for the past six years. Mark Guzdial, over in our College of Computing, introduced me to Squeak, and I'm absolutely fascinated. I'm interested in maybe using it to rig up real-time demos of DSP concepts, and I have an undergrad working with me on an independent study in this direction. I have the smallest of suggestions, which might actually have a big impact: include complex numbers and assorted operations (and make them play nicely and consistently with the rest of the Squeak numeric structure) as part of the base image in the next release. This may seem silly, as one can of course write a complex number handling package without much difficulty, and there are several to download on the web. But having it right there as part of the image would make it a much easier "sell" to my colleages. If I need 4+2j in Squeak, it would be nice to just have it ready to go out of the box. It may also sound silly, but if it doesn't have complex numbers built in, then a lot of the EE world won't take it seriously. Many of my elder colleagues still cling to Fortran instead of going to another language for that very reason (sad, sad). If you include it, They will come. - Aaron ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr. Aaron Lanterman, Asst.
