[Pharo-project] Still Alive
by Sean P. DeNigris Oct. 20, 2012

Oct. 20, 2012

Hey guys, A few of you reached out since I have been absent from commits and the mailing lists. I am very much still around, just furiously hacking on a Pharo project (and a little burnt out from ESUG, but in a good way). Thanks for the love :) Sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Still-Alive-tp4652126.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[Pharo-project] Fw: what is your pharo story?
by dimitris chloupis Oct. 20, 2012

Oct. 20, 2012

Hey Stef You mean this ? -> http://forum.world.st/WaveFront-File-importer-on-Pharo-td4640327.html Well not exactly a blender importer , but yes it could be used to import blender models. By the way , my goal is not to bring models of blender to pharo , but more to use pharo to "script" blender, as python is used now to make addons for blender. So I try to replace python with pharo. Of course visual coding is much more than that, but this is none the less my first step. I try to achieve this with triggering python command via sockets from pharo to blender. Ideally I could generate st methods and classes for all blender python methods and classes. But that is for much later. Still it could be handy to display 3d blender data in pharo. My vision is that both blender and pharo window will be displayed one next to the other, with the user using the pharo window doing visual coding or procedural generation of 3d objects , materials, textures , particles etc and seeing the final result in blender window. If you are familiar with Softimage ICE this is more or less the field of application for "Ephestos". But still could be handy to do some displaying in pharo as well so that the blender window could be minimised.Â This is a video with Softimage ICE. Quite interesting even if you are not interested in 3d graphics. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=do1kzR6gVYk That could be extended even to blender game engine , so that pharo via blender can be used to make 3d games. So yeah sky is the limit. But for now , just basic sockets to trigger simple python eval commands and gradually build from there and see how far I can go with this idea. ________________________________ From: StÃ©phane Ducasse <stephane.ducasse(a)inria.fr> To: Pharo-project(a)lists.gforge.inria.fr; dimitris chloupis <thekilon(a)yahoo.co.uk> Sent: Thursday, 18 October 2012, 19:56 Subject: Re: [Pharo-project] what is your pharo story? for your information jb did a blender importer and you can play with blender 3d objects in Pharo.

My latest complete one is Gyes and Random Material and Texture Generator. http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Extensions:2.6/Py/Scripts/System/Gyes > > Since I was a child I was dreaming of making a system that would use GUIs like the one that I saw in many spaceship movies, fluid futuristic GUIs that could issue way more complex commands than our modern window type GUIs. It was a childs dream, filed as too ambitious and stored there with the rest of too far fetched child dreams. And it was early this year that I was introduced to Smalltalk. I really like python but it was obvious to me that I needed something a lot more. It was that itch I had to scratch. I was very impressed with morphic and squeak and the whole enviroment and of course pharo. I was looking for a live coding enviroment with an ephasis on visual side and I think smalltalk fit like a glove for me. Morphic fit exactly my lego brick logic, I am a very synthetic person I like to keep things minimal and simple and synthesize complex structures out of them. Its a workflow I follow with my entire life not just coding. > > So I started a thread in Blenderartists forum ( http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?250375-A-Visual-Programming-… ) about how people saw the possibility of implementing a visual programming enviroment for blender with a very flexible GUI. I thought it would be one of those threads that none really cared and people would say "we have python why bother with a visual coding enviroment at all, python is very easy to learn" or "why should I care about coding at all I am merely a user".Â And of course I had such reactions but to my surprise the thread just went viral and people seems very excited with the ideas of Ephestos. > > So we sat down with another developer using Morphic code from a smalltalk coder , that he made for python and pygame and we tried to port to Blender libraries instead. Code wise it went much better in our side , suprisingly enough both he and found Morphic very easy to understand. But we came across some severe bugs and limitations at blender side that make it evident that if I wanted to keep this in python I had to dirty my hands with some C and diving inside Blender source. > > It also became more and more evident that squeak and pharo already implemented many of the ideas I had for Ephestos, and there was no way I could port all the features both offered to python just me and another coder in our free time. So I did the logical thing. Droped the idea of keeping the project pure python and now I have slowly started to porting it to Squeak/Pharo and I am using sockets to communicate with blender. > > The goal is of course Visual Coding together with several other ideas I have for RAD. Its not something bound by goals but more an exploration of potential. If the project progress well, I think it will be a win for both blender and squeak/pharo. > > At one side Blender developer will be exposed to the true power and flexibility of smalltalk, at the other hand the smalltalk community will have access to such a powerful amazing 3d application as blender. So I think it will be a double win. > > My preference towards pharo has to do with Nativeboost , I think that it may play an important role in the future and of course there are libraries like Athens that I would love to explore but ideally I would like to make Ephestos compatible with both squeak and pharo. > > In essense squeak and pharo have been an inspiration for Ephestos and the true driving force for making it reality and I can see myself making Ephestos a life project because Its just pure fun for me working on something like that. > > > > > From: Sebastian Sastre <sebastian(a)flowingconcept.com> > To: "pharo-project(a)lists.gforge.inria.fr" <pharo-project(a)lists.gforge.inria.fr> > Sent: Wednesday, 17 October 2012, 14:43 > Subject: [Pharo-project] what is your pharo story? > > Hey there, > > I'm collecting some stories from smalltalkers to tell people how exciting this is. > > Have something to share? > > What's your story with it? > > What got you excited? why it worked for you? > > sebastian > > o/ > > pd: I'm going to mention mainly about pharo and amber > >

Hey there, I'm collecting some stories from smalltalkers to tell people how exciting this is. Have something to share? What's your story with it? What got you excited? why it worked for you? sebastian o/ pd: I'm going to mention mainly about pharo and amber

[Pharo-project] Reduced Cuis
by Edgar J. De Cleene Oct. 20, 2012

Fellows Squeakers, Pharopatas and Cuiseros http://squeakros.org/Cuis3dot2/CuiSantafesino.zip Here you could download the smaller Morphic system. All credit belongs to Juan Vuletich http://www.jvuletich.org/Cuis/Index.html My wish is some day build a more compatible system with current Squeak 4.4 and/or Pharo 1.4 Also start with Spoon and reach the Cuis.image or use Seed / Hazelnut and start from the Â³class repositoryÂ² into http://squeakros.org/Cuis3dot2/ Runs with old Squeak 4.2.5beta1U (I could use my old G4s !!!) or with newer Cog VM (Elliot and Esteban) Edgar
