One more project idea for Smalltalk GSoC 2013. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: Phratch, a port of Scratch to Pharo 2.0 Level: intermediate Possible mentor: Jannick Laval Possible second mentor: Serge Stinckwich Description: Phratch (https://code.google.com/p/phratch/) is an ongoing port of Scratch and BYOB on Pharo 2.0. The current prototype is still suffering from a lot of bugs. Part of the work will be to add unit tests to the existing project. Even if this is a port to Pharo, we will try to build a new version that is flavor-independent. The long term objective of Phratch is to be able to use it for teaching software engineering and robotics. Technical Details: Pharo and some knowledge of Squeak Benefits to the Student: Student will participate to a very cool project. Benefits to the Community: Scratch will be rebuild on top of a modern Smalltalk version and will benefit from lastest development in the core library and VM. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Serge Stinckwich UCBN & UMI UMMISCO 209 (IRD/UPMC) Every DSL ends up being Smalltalk http://doesnotunderstand.org/
