Hi,
My 6-year old's favorite object is the "MixedMorph" in Squeak 3.9 because of the way it handles like putty. She uses it to create all kinds of shapes and pictures. She misses it in Squeakland plugin image.
Will MixedMorph make it into the Plugin image?
MixedMorph is Jerome Peace enhanced PolygonMorph I think.
Nice work, Jerome. Thanks.
You can get much of the same from a regular PolygonMorph but not the mix with smooth and segmented outline,
For a kid, they are very different 'stuff'. Mixed feels like working with dough while Polygon is like working with sticks.
Since Polygon is a subclass of Mixed, I changed PolygonMorph to MixedCurveMorph in SketchEditor>>polyNew: method and painting shapes (like spades or heart) is so much easier. It will be a good addition to SqueakPlugin.
