Pausing animation?
by Bob Irving 16 Aug '05

16 Aug '05

I can't find a way to insert a pause in an animation. My students want to slow down their animations. I taught Microworlds last year, and in that language, you inserted a pause of x seconds in the script to slow down the motion. Is there a way to do this in Squeak?

Hi, It is a good thing that commands that have no sense doesn't appeaur in the viewer- This is the case for a Sketch which have more than one color init. A usuefull command could be change sketch pixles of color ... by color ... With a tile with two color readouts Best regards. The command for doing that exist in the paint menu. The problem is creating the tile with two color readouts. Best regards. -----Message d'origine----- De: squeakland-bounces(a)squeakland.org A: Squeakland Mailinglist Date: 24.06.05 01:01 Objet: Re: [Squeakland] sketch's color Publishing a project does not modify your image. Loading it does, but if you do not save the image afterwards then all is fine. Andreas' project did some changes to the image, this is the "magic" that makes recoloring sketches work. So if you want to load the project and still have the magic in it, say yes. - Bert - Am 23.06.2005 um 15:55 schrieb Randy Heiland: > Andreas, When I go to save/publish your project, I'm prompted with > "Would > you like to include all the changes in the change set as part of this > publishing operation?".

sketch's color
by Randy Heiland 23 Jun '05

23 Jun '05

When I enter "color" into the Search bar of a sketch's viewer, I see a tile called 'Sketch's color' with an assignment of a colored square. When I select "show categories" on the menu of this tile, I get "color & border". However, I don't see this tile in the "color & border" category. First question - why? Second question - and more important - why doesn't this tile actually change the color of my sketch? Basically, I'm looking for ways of changing the color of a sketch - via scripting. Eventually I want to actually set the RGB values and realize I may have to revert to the underlying text/code of a tiled script. Thanks, Randy

Randy, I have tried sticking in a color property assignment in the underlying code of a tiled script to try and change the color of a sketch. It doesn't work. For it to work, Squeak would have to have some way of identifying all pixels in a sketch, and changing the color of them. This functionality would help me tremendously as well. The color property assignment is only good for the premade circle / rectangle / curve objects. I don't think a sketch is a type of object that can handle a color property. Maybe someone else can explain if this is even possible.

Re: [Squeakland] copying objs to new proj confusion
by Dreyfuss Pierre-André (EDU) 22 Jun '05

HI, If you are using 'new' for creating an new project you get a button (orange the first time) to go in the new project. Going back to the previous, this button is showing a picture of the new project. To send objects in the new project, the easiest way is just droping these objects into this window, you see I got it , then wait until the object returns in its place and click on the window to go in the new project, your object will be there. If yopu have objects that are working together, for instance a car and the joystick to drive it , you have to put all abjects on a playfield, then coopy this playfield. An other meu of this object (red hallo) ,then copy & print/copy to paste buffer In the new project, use world menu : new morph /from paste buffer.

Multiplayer network game programming with Squeak
by Dave Briccetti 22 Jun '05

22 Jun '05

This year I want to include Squeak in my multiplayer network game programming class (which before has used Java). I've taught about TCP/IP servers and clients and sockets, and the kids have written little servers and clients which play simple games. I'd love to hear some ideas for how to use Squeak to write simple games running on multiple computers on a TCP/IP network.

Server problem?
by Phil Firsenbaum 20 Jun '05

20 Jun '05

Is there a problem with the Squeakland server? My browser is crashing when I attempt to access a link on the Squeakland site or (more importantly right now) a Squeak project I've published. If there is a server problem can the list be alerted when the problem is resolved? Thanks, Phil

object movement triggers a script
by Randy Heiland 17 Jun '05

17 Jun '05

How do I have the movement of an object trigger the firing of a script? Simple example - moving A causes B to follow it by a fixed offset. Related, perhaps, in the 'scripting' category, what's an example use of the 'triggeringObject' dude? Thanks, Randy

Nebraska: Error: not strike2 format
by Dave Briccetti 15 Jun '05

15 Jun '05

I'm exploring the collaborative features of Squeak, and I'm very pleased by what I see. I can drag morphs on badges and have them transfer. But I can't get a "shared world" working. I click Share in Navigator, then create a badge from another machine and try to "see the person's world." Then I get a message, "Error: not strike2 format." 3.8 6665. Thanks.
