ProfStef - syntax highlighting
by Markus Schlager Feb. 28, 2012

Feb. 28, 2012

Hi all, Is there any chance to get syntax highlighting back for ProfStef tutorials? Even ProfStef is black&white only in Pharo1.3. ProfStefBrowser has vanished already in 1.2. Could the helpbrowser or at least the SystemWindow used by ProfStef get an option for syntax highlighting? All this would be highly appreciated since ProfStef-tutorials are a nice way for writing course-material in order to teach Smalltalk at school. LedMorph and LedTimerMorph are great example-classes to start with teaching. I'm missing WatchMorph, though. Markus

Mongo is quite nice because I have a few hundred megabytes of data. And via cron it runs a map/reduce task to create the statistics about the data that has been fetched. The statistical data is displayed in charts on the web site again.

I've gained a lot of simplicity, but lost sequence numbers and object caching (and maybe more things, that have not been a problem so far). I've written a seqno replacement, but the lack of object caching is not a problem at the moment (i.e. small data sets, so far). > >

Segmentation fault
by Bernat Romagosa Feb. 28, 2012

Feb. 28, 2012

Hi list, We're getting this segfault from time to time: http://hastebin.com/kuvefebuhe.sm The crashes appear to happen randomly, we haven't been able to find out what kind of behavior triggers them. Here's the machine specs: Smalltalk vmVersion 'Croquet Closure Cog VM [CoInterpreter VMMaker-oscog-IgorStasenko.123]' Smalltalk version 'Pharo1.3' Smalltalk osVersion 'linux-gnu' The Pharo image is a standard One-Click, and the OS is a Debian testing. Hope you can help us see what's going on... Thanks! -- Bernat Romagosa.

Who is using Fuel?
by Mariano Martinez Peck Feb. 28, 2012

Feb. 28, 2012

Of course, not the fuel you use to go to work every day ;) I am talking about Fuel serializer. In particular, I wonder if our page deserves an update: rmod.lille.inria.fr/web/pier/software/Fuel/Software-using-Fuel Let me know if there is something I should add. Thanks, -- Mariano http://marianopeck.wordpress.com

Igor coded with me one hour to show me step by step how to produce a rotating pyramid in Pharo :) Have fun (igor will update the configurationOfNBOpenGL to load the latest file).

Sounds / Silence

Feb. 22, 2012

Hi, I am new to Pharo, I try to get a sound from the SoundPlayer. I use : Pharo-1.3-13315-OneClick.app I did : BaseSoundSystem soundEnabled: true I create an instance of AbstractSound, from the beep example, or an instance ofPluckedSound... whatever. And, when I send the message play, the primitive to play the sound fails. *primSoundStartBufferSize: bufferSize rate: samplesPerSecond stereo: stereoFlag* "Start double-buffered sound output with the given buffer size and sampling rate. This version has been superceded by primitive 171 (primSoundStartBufferSize:rate:stereo:semaIndex:)." "ar 12/5/1998 Turn off the sound if not supported" <primitive: 'primitiveSoundStart' module: 'SoundPlugin'> *SoundSupported := false.* La primitive Ã©choue et le flag *SoundSupported est remis Ã false.* * * *My environnemt is windows 7 64bits,* *I do have a sound card !! * * * * * *Where is the good plugin and how should I activate it ?* * * *thanks,* * * *VL.* * * * *

I don't know exactly what you need so let me tell you what we did: > We made a very simple model that lets you communicate with your Arduino using a firmware like Firmata, or a simple firmware made by us (see the class comment of the class Arduino for code examples). We also made a very rudimentary C code generator to translate Smalltalk into C and we linked it to the avr-gcc/avrdude so now we can program the Arduino board without leaving Smalltalk, which is very cool. Unfortunately, the translator is still very limited (I think even more limited than Slang) but we are using it to translate the etoys scripts and it's good enough for our purposes. > > > I search more links about pic, electronics and gui with drag and drop to program this electronic's component for kids.

We usually don't use Pharo to develop Physical Etoys because, you know, Etoys doesn't run in Pharo. However, I would like to ensure at least some of our project works in Pharo.
