Thanks Karl --
A nice simple fun Etoy!
(We definitely have to make the poly control points bigger for the OLPC screen.)
Cheers,
Alan

There is a ear to ear grin across my face as I read your daughters comments.
It is so refreshing to look at the world through kids' eyes. For instance, she called a two vertex Mixed a 'rubber band'. Well, so it is! Mixed is really fun to play with.
The enhancements I made to polygons that lead up to Mixed Morphs would work in 3.8.
I filed in the cs into SqueakPlugin image and got Mixed morph in objects. I didnt use it extensively, but all basic operations seemed to work fine.
I want to see what kids would do if let loose with these things.
I wonder if it is possible to manipulate vertices through Morphic Viewer? Then kids could create their own Blobs, model collisions of squishy objects and so on.
I did that in the OLPC image just a few days ago but it seems the vertices option has disappeared !? There have been lots of stuff happening to the OLPC image lately so I guess it's just a temporary outage. Anyway, I made a blob morph that worked just like the one in the image with just a few tiles of etoy. It was a fun experiment.
