Hi, I am pleased to announce that the Android port of Stack Cog has reached the public alpha stage, and the first pre-built apk file is available for downloading: http://squeakvm-tablet.googlecode.com/files/CogDroid-alpha-20110903.apk This is a debug-signed Android package. When installed, it uses the Pharo icon (to distinguish from the Squeak package in case it is installed). In the future, I'll change the icon to something different. It was tested mostly with one of recent Pharo Core images, and this kind of image is suggested for experiments, but information about any other images is also welcome. Place the image, changes, and sources files in a directory under the root of your tablet's SD card mount point. When the application is launched, it will show list of all image files available. Information provided in the Wiki pages of the Google Code project for the classic VM port is valid for the Cog port as well. http://code.google.com/p/squeakvm-tablet/w/list See the CogNotes page http://code.google.com/p/squeakvm-tablet/wiki/CogNotes for information about location of sources, and (very sketchy at the moment) building procedure. As usual, please send your feedback to this mailing list, or to the Google code project issues page: http://code.google.com/p/squeakvm-tablet/issues/list Try running the tinyBenchmark (Cog gives slightly better results than the Classic VM). You may also try the Test Runner. Please let me know if your favorite tests failed, and any ideas why they might fail ;)
From my experience running tests amount of failures is not much higher than same tests run on PC Cog/Pharo.
Have fun and share your experience ;) Thanks. -- Dimitry Golubovsky Anywhere on the Web
