Re: [Pharo-users] Writing an IRC bot

by kilon alios

I created also a IRC bot with python. I was surpised how simple the irc protocol really is. But my robot was very basic. I agree with Bernat, messy code is much more preferable than no code at all. Sergi your plan sounds fine to me. I think it would be a good idea to announce new pharo builds via a bot to #pharo. This is a common practice for all channels. #emacs has an excellent bot that even allow you to search through documentation. So much potential :)

Problems with Postmark in Pharo 2.0 with and without Seaside

by Dave

Hi guys, I'm going to crosspost to the seaside and pharo lists, so please forgive me First: I'm stuck in installing Postmark, I think is something wrong with seaside, because on a Pharo 2.0 clean image everything is fine So the scenario is: On Pharo 2.0 and clean image, cmd-p on: Gofer new url: 'http://smalltalkhub.com/mc/PharoExtras/Postmark/main' ; package: 'ConfigurationOfPostMark'; load. (Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfPostMark) project stableVersion load. returns: a MetacelloFetchingMCSpecLoader(linear load : explicit load : 1.0 [ConfigurationOfPostMark] load : ConfigurationOfGrease-JohanBrichau.236 explicit load : 1.0 [ConfigurationOfPostMark] load : ConfigurationOfJSON-PaulDeBruicker.3 linear load : 1.0 [ConfigurationOfPostMark] linear load : 1.0.8 [ConfigurationOfGrease] load : Grease-Core-pmm.72 load : Grease-Pharo20-Core-pmm.1 linear load : 1.0 [ConfigurationOfJSON] load : JSON-ul.35 load : PostMark-Core-PaulDeBruicker.15) On Pharo 2.0 and clean image, cmd-p on: Gofer new url: 'http://smalltalkhub.com/mc/PharoExtras/Postmark/main' ; package: 'ConfigurationOfPostMark'; load. (Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfPostMark) project stableVersion load. gives me: - a DNU GRPackage(Object)>>doesNotUnderstand: #includesSelector:ofClassName: - then an alert: "You are about to load new versions of the following packages that have unsaved changes in the images: Zinc-FileSystem" I press merge - then another alert: "You are about to load new versions of the following packages that have unsaved changes in the images: Zinc-HTTP" I press merge so finally the result of cmd-p is: a MetacelloFetchingMCSpecLoader(linear load : explicit load : 1.0 [ConfigurationOfPostMark] load : ConfigurationOfGrease-JohanBrichau.236 explicit load : 1.0 [ConfigurationOfPostMark] load : ConfigurationOfJSON-PaulDeBruicker.3 explicit load : 1.0 [ConfigurationOfPostMark] load : ConfigurationOfSeaside3-JohanBrichau.71 linear load : 1.0 [ConfigurationOfPostMark] explicit load : 1.0.8 [ConfigurationOfGrease] linear load : 1.0.8 [ConfigurationOfGrease] load : Grease-Core-pmm.72 load : Grease-Pharo20-Core-pmm.1 load : Grease-Tests-Core-DamienCassou.81 explicit load : 3.0.9 [ConfigurationOfSeaside3] explicit load : 3.0.9 [ConfigurationOfSeaside3] explicit load : 3.0.9 [ConfigurationOfSeaside3] load : ConfigurationOfSPort2-JohanBrichau.12 explicit load : 3.0.9 [ConfigurationOfSeaside3] explicit load : 3.0.9 [ConfigurationOfSeaside3] explicit load : 3.0.9 [ConfigurationOfSeaside3] load : ConfigurationOfZincHTTPComponents-SvenVanCaekenberghe.59 linear load : 3.0.9 [ConfigurationOfSeaside3] linear load : 1.0.8 [ConfigurationOfGrease] linear load : 1.0.8 [ConfigurationOfGrease] linear load : 2.4.6 [ConfigurationOfZincHTTPComponents] load : Zinc-Character-Encoding-Core-SvenVanCaekenberghe.28 load : Zinc-Character-Encoding-Tests-SvenVanCaekenberghe.15 load : Zinc-Resource-Meta-Core-SvenVanCaekenberghe.28 load : Zinc-Resource-Meta-Tests-SvenVanCaekenberghe.16 load : Zinc-FileSystem-SvenVanCaekenberghe.10 load : Zinc-HTTP-SvenVanCaekenberghe.383 load : Zinc-Tests-SvenVanCaekenberghe.199 load : Seaside-Core-pmm.771 postload : Seaside-Core >> seaside304DoIts load : Javascript-Core-pmm.94 load : Seaside-Tests-Core-pmm.258 load : Seaside-Tests-Canvas-pmm.59 load : Javascript-Tests-Core-pmm.68 linear load : 2.33 [ConfigurationOfSPort2] load : FileSystem-Legacy-JohanBrichau.2 linear load : 1.0.8 [ConfigurationOfGrease] linear load : 1.0.8 [ConfigurationOfGrease] linear load : 1.0 [ConfigurationOfJSON] load : JSON-ul.35 load : PostMark-Core-PaulDeBruicker.15) Wow, so many more packages than the clean image! Second: That's not the end of the story, both in Pharo 2 clean image then the image with Seaside, if I evaulate: email := PMEmail new from: 'me(a)me.com'; to: 'you(a)you.com'; subject: 'whatever'; textBody: 'test'; yourself. interface := PMInterface new. interface apiKey: 'my key'. interface send: email. I discover 1) textBody is no more a valid selector (so PMInterface comment is obsolete), I got rid of it and I tried again, but 2) I get an alert: NameLookupFailure: cannot resolve 'api.postmark.com' Gosh! Hints? TIA Dave -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Problems-with-Postmark-in-Pharo-2-0-with-and-without-… Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Re: [Pharo-users] Writing an IRC bot

by Esteban A. Maringolo

An IRC bot is basically an REPL interface over a socket. It's a fun project to implement with Smalltalk. I made a couple of bots circa 2000 (IRC was still a thing) with Perl. If you implement the IRC bot that doesn't integrate as an extension to an existing IRC client, you'll end up implementing an IRC client itself, which you will be able to use by your bot or yourself. :) Regards!

Writing an IRC bot

by Sergi Reyner

IÂ´ve been writing a bot for a while now, with the purpose of learning proper Smalltalk and OOP idioms/techniques (IÂ´ve been using C-ish languages for a long time now, and IÂ´m trying to cure myself :D). I must say that the process has been quite enlightening so far, I never really understood OOP until now. So far I have a bot that works fine for my needs, but IÂ´d like to contribute back, so IÂ´ll just list some thoughts and you can comment on them. All constructive criticism and pointers on how to do them are welcome! IÂ´m writing in on Pharo 3. I want to split the code I currently have in 3 parts: - part 1: a couple of classes IRCClient/ZdcSecureIRCClient mirroring POP3Client/ZdcSecurePOP3Client, with the intention of contributing them back to Pharo - part 2: an IRCBot framework, which IÂ´ll likely name 'Chromia', to be released under MIT license too - part 3: my own bot using that framework, which would add all the extras like games Does that sound reasonable? At this point my code is quite messy, so IÂ´m deciding whether to put it on SThub or not yet. IÂ´m depending on http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~PharoExtras/JSON for reading some JSON file from a website. Though itÂ´s not high on my priority list, I wouldnÂ´t mind making it as portable to other dialects as possible, too. Cheers, Sergi

[ANN] JetStorm

by jannik.laval

Hi all, Another announcement for Christmas. Do you know Lego MindStorms ? The last one is the Ev3 serie (http://www.lego.com/fr-fr/mindstorms/) One particularity of this version compared to the previous ones is the possibility to plug a Wifi key and connect via TCP. So, if you have this material (one Mindstorms Ev3, one compatible Wifi key), a wireshark to obtain the TCP port to connect to Ev3 (See the process here, only to understand why we need a wireshark to know the port: http://www.monobrick.dk/guides/how-to-establish-a-wifi-connection-with-the-…) Now, you can control your robot with Pharo ! Just load these lines: â Gofer it url: 'http://smalltalkhub.com/mc/JLaval/JetStorm/main' username: '' password: ''; package: 'ConfigurationOfJetStorm'; load. (Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfJetStorm) loadBleedingEdge. â I know also that for Christmas, it is not possible to learn a new API, we all have a lot of other things to do ! So, you can play with it into Phratch. For that, just load Phratch and the package EV3Phratch as following. â Gofer it url: 'http://smalltalkhub.com/mc/JLaval/Phratch/main' username: '' password: ''; package: 'ConfigurationOfPhratch'; load. (Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfPhratch) loadBleedingEdge. Gofer it url: 'http://smalltalkhub.com/mc/JLaval/JetStorm/main' username: '' password: ''; package: 'EV3Phratch'; load. â Have fun ! Jannik PS: for now, this package in prototype, it can change a lot and can have bugs. Do not hesitate to give feedbacks. PS2: I hope to write a doc for it !

I think Hilaire could help here, as he knows how to make a Cog work under Android; and for me, the main advantage Scratch has on other programming languages, is that the (virtual) keyboard is not used much, so that one can, at last, program with a tablet...

excellent jannik you should publish it in the metacello repository on squeaksource metacelloRepository on ss3 metaRepoForPharo20 and add the catalog metadata.
