Bloc, Athens, Pharo5 advice
by J.F. Rick April 3, 2016

April 3, 2016

Hi everybody, I've been off doing a seaside project which really had me using Pharo more than doing anything new to develop for it. Now, I'm in the project where I get to do some more fun stuff on multi-touch interfaces in Pharo. It seems like Pharo has made major progress in that direction so I'd like to take advantage of this progress and also contribute to it. But, I'm a bit confused about the current state, whether it is usable for my project, and how I can contribute to it. First, a little about the hardware I will be working with. At home (development), I have a Dell XPS27 running Ubuntu. It has native multi-touch capabilities. At work (deployment), I have a Mac Mini (OS X) hooked up to a 4k display and get multi-touch information through TUIO. In the past, I used a separate program to turn the Dell touch input into TUIO and then process it inside Pharo (pretty easy). It seems like I should use OSWindow support these days to deal with native input on the Dell and then modify my TUIO adaptor to create those events. Is that correct? If so, how do I get started on that? Do I need a special VM? Is the OSWindow code in Pharo5 or do I need other packages? Last time around (~2 years ago), I started using Athens for rendering multi-touch graphics and it worked fairly well (great fast vector rendering). It seems like Athens has been put into Bloc, which is a framework to replace Morphic. OSWindow support also seems to be linked to Bloc. Is Bloc solid enough where I could use it to create an application? If it is fairly far along, I'd be happy to use it and contribute back to it. Again, is this just in Pharo5 or do I have to load different packages? Is there any documentation I can look at (code examples are fine)? I've already looked at the things I found on Google. Anyway, I'd appreciate any advice on how to get up to speed and perhaps how I can contribute. At minimum, I have some existing multi-touch applications that I could share, thereby giving good demos of Pharo multi-touch capabilities. Cheers, Jeff

Re: [Pharo-dev] Call about Numerical Methods in Pharo :)

Seems that it was renamed?

Sorry, but this is the only reasonable thing I can rescue from this whole thread. The same discussion arises every year once or twice and is always same result: nothing, except people getting angry and trolling in every possible directionâ¦ we will *never* reach an agreement here because is a subjective matter. Is that a reason to zealot about? No (and take into account Iâm referring to all positions here, not just one side or another). So I will ask *again* too calm down and letâs talk about what is really important? This thread has now 44 mails (45 with this now)â¦ of those, just the first mail had something to do with the original purpose. Stay calm, stay coolâ¦ we are all big persons with strong opinions that deserves respect. But we are here to put that positions aside and to discuss about what we can do togetherâ¦ they can be great of dust, you decide. Esteban ps: if it helps, consider this thread as âmoderated: not constructiveâ :)

Spec SDL2 Bridge Help
by Rob Rothwell April 3, 2016

April 3, 2016

Hello, I'm not sure if I'm right, but it looks like with Spec and SDL2 it is almost possible to compose native UI widgets from Pharo. This is very interesting to me, and I would like to volunteer as a laborer if someone could show me what to do. Obviously, a lot of the work would just be wrapping Spec around the platform API calls, which I imagine would [mostly] be a lot of trudging (once you knew what you were doing). If anyone knows what needs t be done (I really don't even know where to begin), and would be willing to mentor me, I would be very willing to do a lot of that grunt work. I've poked around in F-Script enough to know how to research Mac API calls, and there was a time in my VisualBasic days that knew how to do the same in Windows. I'm pretty good at slogging through things that just need to be done if I know what to do, but I would really need help getting started. Perhaps things aren't quite ready for this yet, but if and when they are and sheer (boring!) effort is needed, please feel free to contact me. Take care, Rob

GSoC alternative: SOCIS
by Skip April 3, 2016

April 3, 2016

Hi everyone, I just came across an alternative to GSoC called SOCIS. It's run by the ESA (European Space Agency): http://sophia.estec.esa.int/socis/ Maybe you can try applying there? Deadline is April 10th. And maybe you all know already about this, in that case feel free to let this thread die :) Best wishes, Skip

Catching Exceptions without any notice
by Nicolai Hess April 3, 2016

April 3, 2016

Please don't do this: updateHeight "no need to care about height, when it's logic is not customized" self layout isHeightCustom ifFalse: [ ^ self ]. [ self bounds: (self brickBounds withHeight: self customHeight) ] on: Exception do: [ "just skip and do nothing" ] This makes debugging GLM/Brick ui/layout code with "self haltOnce" impossible. see GLMBrickGeometryTrait>>#updateHeight GLMBrickGeometryTrait>>#updateWidth And if you log out the raised exception, you see some calls to not initialized fonts and a ZeroDevide and some more errors. The above catch, catches and hides wrong / to late initialized objects.

Hi I got a red square of death and I can inspect the blMorph but I cannot get a debugger to understand the drawing problem? rawOnAthensCanvas: aCanvas super drawOnAthensCanvas: aCanvas. aCanvas drawShape: (BlShape new strokePaint: (BlStrokePaint new paint: (BlColorPaint new color: (Color blue)); width: 15); path: BlCirclePath new). and when I select (BlShape new strokePaint: (BlStrokePaint new paint: (BlColorPaint new color: (Color blue)); width: 15); path: BlCirclePath new). I can inspect it.
