Hi,

a) creating a class is message send like any other... and the returned value is the newly created class.

So you can do

locellClass := Object subclass: #LOCell. locellClass compile: 'myMethod'.

b) Alternatively (what I usually do), is `#MyClass asClass` (or Smalltalk classNamed: #MyClass).

Note that using the former (`asClass`) is (justly) frowned upon when used in regular code, but it is perfectly fine in Playground. (Just like 'MyPackage' asPackage, etc.)

As for distribution (which you've mentioned in another mail), I write code like this in my startup scripts, e.g. https://github.com/peteruhnak/pharo-scripts/blob/master/config/5.0/roassal-z...

Likewise you can just file-out a method, class, or package(s) and send that to another person, who can just file it in.

Final note regarding your string operations... try to avoid using comma to concat many strings, using stream is preferable (from both performance and readability), e.g.

The performance aspect is not absolute and depends on usage... http://forum.world.st/Stream-instead-of-string-concatenation-td4856891.html http://forum.world.st/When-to-use-a-stream-for-concatenating-text-td4811093.... cheers -ben

LOCell compile: (String streamContents: [ :stream |          stream                  nextPutAll: 'initialize'; cr;                  nextPutAll: '    super initialize.'; cr. ]).

Also Pharo understands multiline strings just fine, so you can do this:

LOCell compile: 'initialize      super initialize.      self label: ''''.      self borderWidth: 2'

If you need to specify parameters, take a look at String>>format:

'Today is {1}.' format: {Date today}. 'Today is {date}.' format: (Dictionary with: #date->Date today).
