Awesome. Drag & drop. Can't get much simpler. OK, I'm off & running with Kedama now. I've been reading Resnick's "Turtles, Termites, and Traffic Jams" and have wondering how to do similar things in Squeak, so your posting was very timely. Thanks!

Randy,
I'd like to play with your kedama. However, I'm still a newbie to this Squeak image updating procedure. On your kedama web page, "Get started, (bullet 2) Get the SAR file and install it into the image". Exactly how does one do that? I'm running Squeakland 3.8.xxx on Windows mostly (but also Linux & OS X).
Thank you. The easiest on Windows is to drop 'kedama24.sar' into the running Squeak window. If the computer is connected to the Internet, it should download one additional file and install it automatically. Then you can save the image by:
- Clicking the desktop,
- Press ESC or Alt-shift-w to get the "world menu"
- "save" from the menu.
Note that this permanently changes the image that Squeak plugin uses. You can say 'save as...'
More generally, to the Viewpoints Research folks, can you forsee making kedama just another 'update' for when we get new updates?
We could do this now. Let us think about it. I have a few more changes in my mind (meaning not materialized as a form of code^^;) but probably it would be wise to include it for coming UCLA class, etc.
