Hi all,

Over the weekend, instead of working on my ESUG presentations I procastinated a bit with some experiments that I would like to share ^^.

Procastination 1: Render the world fully in athens (instead of a middling bitmap) to have an idea of the effort to get fast to hdpi

�� What you see here is a world drawn completely in athens in minheadless, where in red are the invalidated rectangles in the screen (I���m using to debug a bit).
�� Icons are broken because I broke them while playing, not because they do not work in athens :P.
�� There is still work to do if we want to explore this direction. Mainly performance issues to make it at least usable, so it can be iterated easily.
�� We have seen with Pablo that a lot of time is taken in the transformation of morphic/pharo form/bitmaps to athens ones, since they do not have the same format and right now it is done with a bit-per-bit copy.


Procastination 2: poping out morphs out of the world

What you see here is that I can have different os windows with different worlds, giving a multi-window experience :).
There is also work to do in this direction if we want to push it:
�� - morphic support for multiple worlds/windows is not so good...
�� - the usage of the current world needs to be reviewed. The world has two distinct responsibilities right now

�� �� ��1) it is the manager of the hands (required for drag n drop)

�� �� ��2) it is the main container/pasteup for other morphs

Imagine in the short term a Morphic Spec app can use a ���external window rendering on athens��� strategy that mixes the two things above and each new window is popped up as a new window. :D

For those @ESUG, I���ll be arriving this evening, I���m going to show this in the show us your projects, and if you want to help, please contact me, you can learn a lot and its super fun :)
