Re: [Pharo-users] Fwd: Morph menu entries

by Ben Coman

I guess its a carry over from Squeak and maybe Scratch which have more focus on interactive media direct interaction than Pharo. Personally I never use it and consider it too prominent, and think sinking it one level to a World Menu Item would be nice. What would be the arguments against doing that? An alternative could be having it as a Task Bar menu item. cheers -ben On Sun, 26 Jan 2020 at 20:18, Richard Kenneth Eng <horrido.hobbies(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Could someone please explain what the "World contents" menu obtained by > right-clicking on the background is all about?

Re: [Pharo-users] Workspace with reliable save feature

by Offray Vladimir Luna CÃ¡rdenas

Hi Hilaire, We use kind of a similar approach for our community workshops. Participants organize their scripts in a Grafoscopio node and they save future/improved versions there as new nodes or overwriting old ones. I don't see this as a long term solution, but kind of practical in practice based educational settings, formal or informal.

Re: [Pharo-users] ByteArray for UDP datagram

by HilaireFernandes

Thanks for the tips. So far, I've found two ways to write the datagram. One with stream, the other one with hexadecimal representation. The former is verbose but helps for the clarity. The latter is shorter while tricky when variable content need to be inserted in the datagram Are they better way to write the datagram?

Re: [Pharo-users] Workspace with reliable save feature

by HilaireFernandes

Torsten, Offray, Trygve, Thanks for your suggestions for long term thinking. In the meantime I need a workable solution for the coming weeks, I found the safer is to instruct the students how to operate with Playground to not lost their scripts. We design our teaching unit around one example and practical cases. The example part contains a Pharo script and the resulting DrGeo sketch. The practical case contains several DrGeo sketches and the students must write the Pharo scripts. They extrapolate from the script in the example. Therefore the work is incremental and before modifying any script they must rename the Page in the Playground. Some script will be reused in later units. I am pretty sure some, if not the majority, will forget to follow this protocol. Anyway we will see.

Hi everyone! Thanks for the comments, I don't create a repository yet because, in this first version, I just wanted to try if it was possible, so only create a Form subclass and add three methods.
