Everything worked great... but Karel's World doesn't actually work.
The problem is that the motion happens fast enough that the beeper's
don't get a chance to notice that the robot's over them.
"OK", I thought... I'll just tell all the beepers to look for the
robot overlapping them at the end of each move.
So I added
Beeper tellAll: seeIfRobotOverMe
at the end of Robot.move.
But that doesn't work. Why not?
I have a prototype beeper in a parts bin at the bottom. The Beeper in
that parts bin is (say) a Player60.
When I drag out a new beeper, the Player60 class gets *copied* in its
entirety. With no inheritance.
So #tellAll: doesn't work, as it's looking for Player60 subinstances.
Which the new copies aren't, since they're copies.
Aargh!!!
So I need to do one of either:
* make a beeper generator button that will duplicate the Beeper and
grab it with the Hand, or
* delay every step of the user script. Oops! how is this done?
