I remember your slides from long ago, they were pretty good (as in going pretty deep). Regards, Sven

Transcript class allInstances does not list all instances

In the latest Pharo 3 for Mac: Transcript open. Transcript open. Transcript class allInstances inspect only shows one instance, not two. Why? Oscar

Looking for suggestions for extended Pharo/Smalltalk intro demo

by Oscar Nierstrasz (gmail)

Hi Folks, I will be teaching a Software Design and Evolution course this Fall in which we use a lot of Smalltalk. For the introduction to Smalltalk lecture I wanted to give an extended demo with some slides in between rather than mainly showing slideware. Does anyone have a good recommendation for an application to build with the students while showing off most of the important features of the language and the environment? Ideally something you have used before in precisely this way. Some things I have used in the past: - Post Office example (small and boring) - Snakes and Ladders (a bit too big) Thanks for suggestions. Oscar

For Mac, I actually already tried using one of Alex Mac. It worked, but when I tried an older version of Woden and OSWindow it crashed. With Igor and Esteban we will take a better look on this. Okay, I see all Woden examples work on Mac except WDTerrainExample and > WDPhysicsExample WDTerrainExample uses OpenCL with OpenGL interoperability, whose support I have not added yet to Mac. The API for creating an OpenCL context with OpenGL interoperability is a bit platform specific. The WDPhysicsExample uses Bullet. The Bullet bindings are quite tricky to build/load in comparison to a typical Pharo project. It requires my modified version of Swig. This version of Swig can generate NativeBoost from a C/C++ header. It is available in: https://github.com/ronsaldo/swig The Bullet bindings and scripts for automatically building for Linux are here: https://github.com/ronsaldo/bullet-pharo I need to provide a more pharoish way to build Bullet and the bindings.
