I would like to run the Forest Fire example in Kedama, to see an example of an Etoys cellular automata simulation. Could you point me to an Etoys release and version of Forest Fire code that are compatible, please?
Here is what I have tried so far:
(a) I downloaded the "Introducing Kedama" pamphlet http://svn.squeakland.org/pdf/kedama.pdf
However the links in Appendix E (page 36) seem to be broken. The link is http://www.squeakland.org/project.jsp?http://www.squeakland.org/fun_projects... However the Etoys plugin loads nothing, and indeed /fun_projects/ is '404 Not Found'.
(b) Instead I downloaded http://www.is.titech.ac.jp/~ohshima/squeak/kedama/forestfire2.pr . However that does not run in the current Etoys (Etoys 3.0, build 2177, 5-Jan-2009 ). It shows an MVCMenu which, I guess, comes from the project loading subsystem: "Reading an instance of KedamaGetPixelValueTile. Which modern class should it translate to? Let me type the name now Let me think about it Let me find a conversion file on the disk"
(c) "Gallery of projects" bundled with the Mac Etoys.app download (http://www.squeakland.org/download/) has 3 Kedama simulations, but not the one I desire: ParticlesDyeInWater ParticlesEpidemic ParticlesGasModel
Possible ways you might be able to help me:
1. Point me to a version of Forest Fire that runs with Etoys 3.0, or an updated version of kedama.pdf
2. Point me to an archive of a 2004 or 2005 vintage squeakland release image (I read reports that "Squeakland 3.8-05" should run http://www.is.titech.ac.jp/~ohshima/squeak/kedama/forestfire2.pr ), or
3. finally, perhaps you could point me to documentation on how Kedama has changed from 2005 to 2009, so I that I could try to rebuild the 2005 version of Forest Fire to get it running in Etoys 3.0, though this sounds unlikely from http://squeakland.org/download/releaseNotes.jsp . (By the way, are detailed changes to Kedama logged in Monticello, subversion, a changeset, or elsewhere?)
