Dont know what you feed this monster but it took forever to load on Pharo 4 and now it gives me the error MNU receiver of "do:" is nil Pharo 3 seems to work ok, so from what I gather this is a flow chart representation of Smalltalk language, very interesting , I like it very much. Are you serious about this project or its just a little experiment for you ? Blender users have been wanting a flow based programming language for some time, I have been looking into Phratch but apparently most people prefer flow charts like yours because its what they are used to to as users inside Blender and other 3d apps. So its also an area that interests me too for example procedural creation of 3d objects which is an area that Blender lacks right now while other apps like Houdini and Softimage have again been based on flow chart languages like yours. The nice thing about your approach is that is inside Pharo so it does not lock down into a flow chart-only approach as most implementations do. So the user can use LiveCode to quickly create code and then use normal text code to customise and further refine. Does that make sense to you ? I was thinking creating something similar myself but I was afraid it would be too much work. So I am definitely interested to learn how far you want to go with this .

I guess so, although I am not really sure what I am looking at - but it seems very cool.

What the hell is that, looks very interesting !!!!
Ha ha, yeah I guess a bit of context would help ;)
It's a prototype I've been working on that combines some of (IMHO) the best IDE ideas of various systems. That particular one shows Self Outliners (the Morphs on the left of the connector). By pressing $M when an outliner has the focus, you get a "Message Menu" of Scratch-like interactive tiles for all the messages it understands. You can click on the unary messages or type expressions for the ones taking arguments (actually just realized that the binary ones don't work so just keyword messages right now). When the message is sent, a new Self Outliner open(s)InHand on the result.
It's a WIP, but if you want to play, start with:
1. Gofer it smalltalkhubUser: 'SeanDeNigris' project: 'SeansPlayground'; configurationOf: 'LivingCode'; load. "Strangely I can not #loadDevelopment here because the ScrollableWorldMorph package doesn't get loaded, even though it does with the next line" #ConfigurationOfLivingCode asClass project development load. #SelfWorld asClass open.
2. Then in the search bar, type an evaluatable expression, e.g. "1" and accept 3. Drop the Outliner from the hand into the Self World 4. For fun, click the world background and drag. OMG, you have an infinite world 5. Click on the M button in the outliner and the message menu will appear (erroneously in the World instead of the Self World). 6. Expand e.g. the "bit manipulation" protocol (assuming you started with "1" as above) 7. Click into the text field to the right of bitAnd: and accept the text A new Outliner of the result will appear in the hand
Other buttons on the Outliner: B - open a nautilus on the class of the object I - traditional inspector S - open the test class if it exists (I call them Specification(s) in my personal work) E - Evaluator (very close to Self)
Also, if you click on the icons to the right of "class" and "package" Outliner(s) will appear on those objects.
That's pretty much it for now.
