Squeak task analysis (please help me to improve my research)
by Andre Furtado 19 Mar '05

19 Mar '05

Hi there, I am writing my software engineering master thesis, which is related to visual tools to create games, and I'm looking for users (the more expert, the better) which could help me to describe common Squeak user actions using a hierarchical task analysis. How does it work? I ask the user the steps needed to perform a single action (such as "How do I create a new animated character?") and then the user replies to me with the required steps, such as: 1. Create the animation frames 1.1 Open the drawing pad 1.2 Draw something for each animation frame 2. Define the animaton 2.1 Create a Holder 2.2 Add frames to holder 3. 3.1 3.2 ... 3.2.1 ... I would really appreciate if you could be such a "test user". I have only a few tasks to be analysed and a loose deadline; it will not take you too much time. Test users will receive a very big "thank you" in the Acknowledgements section of the final version of my thesis. Many thanks, -- Andre Furtado --------------------------------- Yahoo!

Re: [Squeakland] Windows 98 (or 95)
by Mitchell, David [CC] 18 Mar '05

18 Mar '05

I've had that same result with my Squeakland install. When I installed on Win98 without a user login, I got that result (but it didn't fail). On a WinME with a user log in it used the login name (same on Win2K).

How to script "return to previous project"
by Scott Wallace 18 Mar '05

18 Mar '05

Recently a colleague asked how one might write a script whose action would be to take the user back to the previous project -- i.e. to the project from whence the user had come before she entered this project. Attached is a project that illustrates one way to do this. Run the script by clicking the yellow !, and the star will meander around the screen for a while, and eventually automatically you'll be whisked back to the project you were in before you loaded this project. The trick is to find a *button* or *menu item* that does what you want to write a script to do. You can then use the "fire" tile phrase (look in the "miscellaneous" category of the Viewer) to instruct the button or menu item to behave as it had been pressed manually. In this example, you'll see that the programmatic "return to previous project" is accomplished by telling the "< PREV" button in the golden Navigator bar to "fire", in the last line of the script. Cheers, -- Scott

disappearing objects
by Christian Grune 18 Mar '05

18 Mar '05

My kids produced something strange: Objects disappear, if I click them. They re-appear, if I release them. Is that an error in the project? Caused by what? Or is that a bug in Squeak?? The project is here: http://www.relearn.de/squeak/weltraumfahrt.003.pr Thanks for help, Christian

Squeak projects on websites
by Phil Firsenbaum 14 Mar '05

14 Mar '05

Hi Michael. My Squeak school (the one where I do my Squeak work) finally has a school website and I'd love to post some of the student projects. The last time I looked at doing this it didn't seem very elegant. What would you suggest? Thanks, Phil

[Ann] Tron, TicTacToe, Pacman and SpaceInvaders with EToys
by Markus Gaelli 14 Mar '05

Have to admit that the originals are somewhat more playable, but I guess they also have more lines of code... ;-) http://www.emergent.de/etoys.html Have fun doing clones or even better originals... Cheers Markus

Windows 98 (or 95)
by Yoshiki Ohshima 10 Mar '05

10 Mar '05

Hello, Does anybody use the latest Squeakland Squeak on Windows 98 (or 95)? I've got one report from a user of the new Japanese version and he says Squeak trys to create a folder named: My Squeak/"user name" upon the installation, but instead of some other string, it actually trys to create: My Squeak/%USERNAME% and fails. I'd like to figure out that the problem is something to do with the packaging of the Japanese version, or somehow the Squeakland version shares the same problem. Thank you! -- Yoshiki
