I can't find a way to insert a pause in an animation. My students want to slow down their animations. I taught Microworlds last year, and in that language, you inserted a pause of x seconds in the script to slow down the motion.
Is there a way to do this in Squeak?
Thanks in advance,

Hold down the mouse button on the tiny clock face in your script. This brings up a menu allowing you to adjust the tick rate.

Hi, Bert, Bob -
I actually believe Bob might be asking about pausing and starting up action again. And this should be able to be done in a couple of ways --
Have you seen the "scripting" category in an object's viewer? There is a "pause script" command there which you should be able to use.
There should be a way to insert a pause by of putting something into a holder as well, I am thinking of something like a rest in music so that the cursor could "play a few blanks" and then resume. You could probably make a "transparent player" and insert that in the holder for a few frames and that would do the job.
Do others have advice for Bob here? thanks! Kim

I just discovered that a tick rate can even be set to a fraction of a second! Just use a leading zero, as in 0.5 for half a second. Phil

Not an accident, heh heh ... All fractions work here. This is used in the Sound Synthesis project to get all the pitches.
Cheers,
