Say, for instance, a #withEncoding:do:* on read/writeStream, so instead of the above, one can do: fileName := FileSystem disk checkName: fileName fixErrors: true. (outputStream :=(File named: fileName) writeStream) withEncoding: 'utf8' do: [:encodedWriteStream | encodedWriteStream nextPutAll: aStream contents]. outputStream close. and aFileReference writeStreamDo: [ :outputStream | outputStream withEncoding: 'utf8' do: [:encodedStream | encodedStream nextPutAll: aStream contents. ]]. or input := aFileReference readStreamDo: [ :inputStream | inputStream withEncoding: 'utf8' do: [:decodingStream | decodingStream contents]] It's more involved than the current multibytestreams, but takes away the burden of determining the correct stack of ZnStreams for the common case. For instance, you'd normally want file write streams to also be wrapped by a buffered stream, and have a single flush at end of withEncoding:do:, while the same isn't necessary for withEncoding:do: on the base WriteStream class.

Nice tests. I am still a bit puzzled by the usefulness of this method though.

Re: [Pharo-dev] Simple game framework

Hi Stef, A complete port of the SDL capabilities (http://wiki.libsdl.org/Introduction) will be super nice (audio) and improved stability. For your students, the perspective on the game is likely 2 months, may be 6 months; you know I have longer perspective - DrGeo was slowly developed and crafted for 20 years; therefore stability on the code is very important for me as I will have to work over long period. That's the reason I don't fell at ease relying on many code layers. For your students, as the horizon is counted in months it is a null consideration, not for me. Not to mention there are uncertainty over this layers. Moreover these layers will make hard to my student to understand what's going on, if they want to dig in. I am not sure how far will get me this reflexion, but for my students, I can imagine different models of 2D games: board games, horizontal/vertical scrolling games, isometric games. Each one can be optimized differently. Banks of sprites and audio will be already there to get started the students. The models will encapsulate SDL, as PyGame is doing, but still easilly accessible. I imagine such an environment to rely only on two layers: SDL and spec, the later if some dedicated user interface is needed for the game designer; but a lot should happen in the class browser. I found this Python PyGame code bellow rather easy to understand. Will it be possible to produce an equally understandable Smalltalk code with the layers your are proposing? importsys,pygamepygame.init()size=width,height=320,240speed=[2,2]black=0,0,0screen=pygame.display.set_mode(size)ball=pygame.image.load("ball.bmp")ballrect=ball.get_rect()while1:foreventinpygame.event.get():ifevent.type==pygame.QUIT:sys.exit()ballrect=ballrect.move(speed)ifballrect.left<0orballrect.right>width:speed[0]=-speed[0]ifballrect.top<0orballrect.bottom>height:speed[1]=-speed[1]screen.fill(black)screen.blit(ball,ballrect)pygame.display.flip() Hilaire Your time stamp bellow is a strike! ;) Â Â vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv Le 01/01/2018 Ã 00:00, Stephane Ducasse a Ã©critÂ : > Hi hilaire > > Some students at Prague are working on different 2D games with Bloc > and this is working. > Some did a sokoban, other a miner (check on pharo weekly). > > They use Bloc and I will ask them to make public their code. > No need for SDL.

upToAll: for ZnCharacterReadStream

by Bernhard Pieber

I have created another pull request with an implementation for #upToAll: for ZnCharacterReadStream: https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/pull/634 Here is the case: https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/20905 CI checks are in progress. Does that make it the first contribution in 2018? ;-) Let me know what you think. Happy New Year Bernhard

To be honest this is a beta virtual swarm where the exact number of deployed images is. It is less load here because it is beta. The production swarm has more machines. But the images are restricted to 128 MB heap and the machine has 64 GB memory. So no problem!
