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?
Regards .. Subbu

There was good discussion with Jerome about it, but I still have "mixed" feeling toward including that to the Squeakland image (and the OLPC image). This is due to the amount of modification it makes and I have not figure out what kind of side-effects it might have. (Not that it have a bug or something, but it is a big commitment to change all polygons.)
For your 6-years old, CurveMorph with a bit more control points would do?
For older kids, the OLPC version has Etoys scriptable polygons so that they can actually write tile scripts to change the shape of a polygon. One time I tried to merge them together, but the effort didn't go far enough. That would be still nice to have...
