Hi esteban
Cooool. Sounds exciting. Thanks :)
What is the size of Mars? Currently is very small, but I really don't know how to messure this... there is a method counter or something around?
How did you get multiple windows :) They are just cocoa windows, created each time one is needed
Are call back from cocoa handled? Yes, but currently just "one-way" callbacks: cocoa fires a signal to squeak, and squeak know how to handle it. I'm studing a way to add (or simulate) squeak-to-cocoa callbacks, for solving some issues (like menu enabling/disabling, etc.). Basically, I'm studing Alien and ObjectiveC bridge to look what can I borrow ;)

Hi, I'm introducing Mars (just another world)
Mars is a world for Squeak (and all it's forks) builded as an MVC on
top of Cocoa (OSX framework) and OmniBrowser. For that reason, Mars just runs on OSX environments. While this project has some similariries with SqueakGTK and
wxSqueak, it has big differences: 1) Mars is not a port of Cocoa for squeak, is just an MVC
implementation who uses Cocoa. Why that "subtle" distinction? well,
SqueakGTK is a full port of GTK+ library and for that reason, a
little big a and a little too complex. I'm following simplicity as
one of the project goals. 2) Mars is a plugin, and will run in any fork of squeak, and OB-Mars
(Mars world) will run in any fork of squeak who can load
OmniBrowser. This is a big difference with wxSqueak, wich is a fork
it self (and requires an special VM)
And of course, while both efforts (SqueakGTK and wxWidgets) are
cool, none of them can be executed (and won't ever be) in small
environments, like the iphone, which is one of my main objectives
(using John's new VM and Edgar's work on minimal image building)
Mars is MIT and can be downloaded following instructions from here: http: //www.smallworks.com.ar/productos/Mars/Download For more details (history, blog, etc.), you can go to: http://www.smallwo rks.com.ar/productos/Mars
DISCLAIMER: Right now, Mars is vere-very alpha stage (though it runs
and can be used) and I would love any contribution in the form of:
bug reports (there will be a lot now), feature requests, comments,
and of course, code :)
Cheers, Esteban
