Projects and Repositories
by Fernando 23 Jan '06

23 Jan '06

Hi all: I am a K12 teacher and I have worked with Squeak for two years. I think that it's an excellent tool to see the learning process and its development with constructivist and constructionism ideas. For use in the K12 classroom, it is a powerful help to see a list of projects and Squeak's repositories. We have a list of them. You can see it in: http://squeak.usc.es/USCSqueak/12 Does anybody know any other places? Thanks, Fernando. ______________________________________________ LLama Gratis a cualquier PC del Mundo.

Fwd: Tweak in Browser Plugin
by Fournier Eric 20 Jan '06

20 Jan '06

I'm successfully running Tweak now in a browser window via the NPSqueak plugin. Everything runs bug-equivalent (so far) with the standalone version with the exception of... Several keys are mapped oddly from the keyboard when in the Tweak environment. s,w,h,b, the return key, some others(?) are being paired with control characters only in Tweak, only in browser. I can run same image standalone and have no troubles. The plugin is v3.5.3C1, and we are using much newer (assuming that plugin version maps to VM version) standalone VMs (3.8.8b14, 3.8.9b7). I scanned through the image looking for some 'I'm in a browser so do this weird stuff with keystrokes' code, but found nothing. Any ideas? -- Eric

can I use button's textual editor?
by Arvind Grover 12 Jan '06

12 Jan '06

Some of my students are programming buttons, and want to use the textual code editor rather than dragging tiles. However, when they type something in, and toggle back to the tile view mode, the code they typed in disappears. Is it possible to type Smalltalk code directly in?

pen trails over sketch
by Randy Heiland 11 Jan '06

11 Jan '06

Apparently I only dreamed this was possible in etoys? In working with my class at Girls Inc last night, a girl had painted an "ocean" as one object, then a fish as another, then attempted to have the fish's pen trails show up over the ocean. It wasn't possible - the pen trails only showed up behind the ocean - in the "world". The same is true in Tweak it seems. Is this possible and I've simply forgotten how? Thanks, Randy

Squeakland superswiki
by José L. Redrejo Rodríguez 04 Jan '06

04 Jan '06

Hi,first of all, happy new year to all the squeakers. I have checked for some months that squeakland superswiki is down. Do you have plans to use it? If not somebody should fix the links to http://www.squeakland.org/gallery in a bunch of pages of the squeakland web site. Do you have a list of active superswikis? The included list at the current squeakland image is almost totally useless, except Bob's Superswiki, none is up. Regards
