Hi all
I was discussing with Bert about getting botsinc running on ODLP. The environment is really small it is 17 classes. And this would be great to have an environment to teach Smalltalk on it. Apparently Bert told me that Alan would be interested and that I should send an email to this mailing- list. So this is what I'm doing.
Now I need help. I have a bug when I put a self halt in the method that is executed. Ned told me that it could be easily fixed but right now I have no time and I got already burnt in the pas with concurrency and morphic. So I would like to know if somebody is interested in helping me.
square "self square" self north. self go: 200. self halt. self east. self go: 200.
Does not stop the bot and its animation. (I have an older version not based on the rewrite that Ned did for me but based on morphic wrapper that is working correctly but I would prefer to use the last one since I developed further and it is in sync with the book).
I was working on a better history of commands. Now there is also a problem of how to save script. I proposed to save categories but may be we need something better than that.
I'm working on releasing extra chapters (with Lsystem and other). I'm working also on releasing another micro world with a robot (looking like Karel with really fun exercises). These extras chapters will be freely available. But all that takes time.

On SqueakMap load shout.4 (this is not necessary and we can remove it after, it just gives a better feedback on errors).
