Hi 

I'm sure good squeakers will reply to you.
If you want to be connected with European Smalltalkers and Squeakers,
register at www.esug.org this is free and low traffic.

But we organize a really excellent and friendly user conference every year.
This was last week..... ;)

Have fun with Smalltalk. You can find some column I wrote on Squeak in
french on my web page

Hi all, 

  I haven't found a list for newbies, so I'm writing to this one. Sorry!

I've been using Squeak for a couple of weeks and I like it a lot. It's my
first Smalltalk experience. I've just finished writing a version of the
classic Snake game in Morphic, and I thought some other beginners might
benefit from my code, and enjoy the game. Is there a repository for this
type of stuff? 

Also, I'm plannning to rewrite in Morphic an Image processing system I wrote
in C++. This would include a TIFF reader/writer (I haven't found one in the
3.0 image) and some morphological image processing operations. From browsing
classes and reading the source code for the Demos, I think that for
displaying images I should use ImageMorphs. Correct?

What is slowing me is actual pixel manipulation. I see three classes
relevant for this: Bitmap, Form and BitBlt. I'm learning them form reading
source code, but I'd work faster with some documentation.

Is there some documentation on these classes? Maybe in some of the books,
say Goldberg and Robson?

Thanks,
