A new project is attached for you to test and review. The new button looks like this: [image: StepMe.png] and the old one: [image: StepMe (bug).png] Of course, it's up to you to decide which form to use (or propose a new one). I don't really care much for the button's form anyway, but I'm *very* interested in the "stepping" feature. Cheers, Richo

Re: [squeakland] [etoys-dev] sixteen items for Squeaklamd 2012 - Item 4: number line

For this item, I've made a new version which I believe works more "intuitively" with regards to the max/min value. Now, when changing these slots all the numbers will remain in their place and the number lines will be resized. I believe this addresses Randy and Steve's concerns. New project is attached, suggestions are welcomed as always, and if you like this version I'll submit it to the issue tracker as Scott did with the other items :) Cheers, Richo

Etoys in Chinese?
by Christine Murakami 20 Jan '12

20 Jan '12

Hi everyone! I have a native Chinese student who is planning to translate our music lessons into Mandarin. She looked online for a Chinese version of Etoys, but was unable to get it. When we tried to change the language in our regular version of Etoys (v 4.1.1) it said that it couldn't install the font. Could you please help? Thanks! Hope you are all having a great start to the new year! Christine Murakami Upper School Technology Integration Specialist Columbus School for Girls http://csgolpc2012.weebly.com 614-453-4538

Calendar fixes
by Ricardo Moran 09 Jan '12

09 Jan '12

Hi guys, Given the recent interest in the CalendarMorph, I've been working on it a little more (see the project attached). Now I find it much more responsive by just deferring the update of the GUI (which is expensive) in the #step method. I also fixed the issue with the translations not updating when changing languages. Now the month names and day initials should get updated but the problem is that we don't have translations for them yet in the database, so you won't notice this until we add them. Important for developers: I changed the way the locale changes are notified to morphs. See Project>>#updateLocaleDependentsWithPreviousSupplies:gently: and Morph>>#localeChanged. Basically, I just send #localeChanged to all morphs and I have the default implementation in Morph doing nothing. I think this is much better than before because now any morph can get notified of locale changes by just implementing the #localeChanged method, but I wanted to ask for your opinion on this. Cheers, Richo

OpenGL integerated wtih Squeak IDE
by Lawson English 06 Jan '12

06 Jan '12

This is a very poor attempt to do what Matt Fulmer did with OpenCobalt: integrate overlapping Morphic windows with OpenGL. The only advantage is that it doesn't require OpenCobalt. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ctm-Q39nd-k The entire World is being rendered onto an OpenGL texture which is updated with every tick. With the proper scaling , the destop could be repositioned along the z access at any point within the fustrum and still keep the default mouse handling. Add mouse handling from OpenGL itself, and you can have 2D widgets projected onto 3D objects, not to mention 3D widgets fully integrated with the Squeak desktop. Time to revive/revitalize Balloon3D, perhaps? Whatever happened to 3D Morphic? There's obviously a great deal of room for optimization, and of course, the sky is the limit for what could be done in terms of lighting, materials, etc. Using more modern APIs of OpenGL (I'm using immediate mode! (!) and only stuff from the first 6 NeHe tutorials) one could have an awful lot of interesting stuff going on. Lawson
