Re: [Pharo-users] JavaLoader

by Blaine Buxton

It should work. It's something that I did several years ago around Java3. I've made sure it has worked with every Pharo release (the tests pass under Pharo3). I will look into why they are failing under pharo4. It's a project I did because I was mainly doing Java and go frustrated with serialization errors and it just went from there. The classloader and decompiler were for my own edification. I used to have it working inside the inspectors in Squeak, but I doubt they work now. I've been meaning to work on it again. Everything should work. I did start on being able to Java VM code inside of Pharo, but got sidetracked with work and life. I'd be happy to talk more. It's been about a year since I last looked at the code. I'll dig around sometime soon.

Code critics: 'Method defined in all subclasses, but not in superclass'

by Laura Risani

Hi all, If i run Critic Browser on a package with just a class that defines a method as subclassResponsibility and two subclasses that override it, i get under group 'Design Flaws' 'Method defined in all subclasses, but not in superclass'. If instead of 'self subclassResponsibility' i write anything else the critic doesn't show. Is this the expected behaviour? So, is considered an error to have a superclass without a default implementation (not subclassResponsibility) for a method? You can get example package sending Gofer new smalltalkhubUser: 'squidik' project: 'samples'; package: 'Critics'; load. Best, Laura

Re: [Pharo-users] Boardician (board game framework)

by Laura Risani

Excellent! I have a todo list i'll work on including further class commenting, method classification on example games, ... I wanted to share what i have to get feedback. Feel free to add to the list! About the issue on EMonsterMover i thought back and forth about having only one configurable (dynamic choices) / the four (static choices). At the moment i went with the last one because i thought that despite not nice, it eased the reading being more explicit also i wasn't completely sure of being able to remove it. Now that it's finished it can be seen that is unnecessary not beautiful. Thank you for pointing it out, i'll change it. What names do you find confusing, which ones would you use instead? Have you read the first paragraphs of the documentation (mainly class comments)?

Re: [Pharo-users] Boardician (board game framework)

by kilon alios

I am taking a look at your code and I dont understand something you have in BgEatBullet package EMonster1Mover, EMonster2Mover , EMonster3Mover and EMonster4Mover. All four classes are identical apart from the return values in some methods. Why not use 1 class and 4 instances of that class instead ? Also I second the name of the classes is confusing.

" @kilon Mail me back if you do develop a game adding from you graphical capabilities. " hmm making a board game sound like a very nice idea indeed. Will keep you posted, definitely I am making something :)

I don't understand the second framework, it's entitled 'Teaching game framework', are there any class notes i can look at? The first framework has really cool graphics and seems to be quite powerful in it's expressiveness and to have a smooth GUI. I'll try to navigate a little through the code, if possible, to try to get some understanding about it's design, since i don't see any documentation on it on the web, perhaps inside the downloads. Do you consider first framework's example games to be board games? Mmmm, one could think there is a bigger board that is successively partially displayed when the character moves. You also asked 'Did you have game where characters are moving not block by block?'. When developing Boardician i thought, based on game list examples, the characteristic quality of a board game to be having a tiled board. I should explicitly state this constraint at the documentation. Display could show moving as a transition, but i case of adjacent places it doesn't seem to add much, does it? - Do you have the notion of command?
