Iâll be honest, when I had to do presentations I cheated and used Director. Granted that was long enough ago that it was still Macromedia Director ⦠Andrew Sent from Mail for Windows 10 From: Offray Vladimir Luna Cárdenas Sent: Sunday, November 5, 2017 6:02 PM To: pharo-users@lists.pharo.org Subject: Re: [Pharo-users] Writing "powerpoint" like presentations in Pharo? Hi Tim, I did a presentation long time ago (for Squeak Fest 2007) using Etoys (in fact I knew little more that Etoys for teaching, modeling and programming in Smalltalk, and after that, my Smalltalk learning/practice froze until 2014!). Of course, is not what you're looking for, because is not Pharo based, but may be it can give you some ideas. You can download the image from [1] and run it using Squeak 4., from Squeakland, at [2]. Below you can see some screenshots of such presentation, including running a simulation inside it.

I would like to explore using mind mapping as a way of making presentations in Pharo (to support my usual way of presentation using Freeplane[3]).

Sort of like what Alan Kay does in the eToys images? I need to do a presentation next week and I always loved it when I was fooled into thinking I was looking at a staticâish powerpoint and then suddenly realised it was a live environment. It doesnât sound that hard to do something simple - but Iâm not sure if I can pull it off in time for my presentation. But am curious if we have something. (For bonus points, GT-Spotter stuff would work in it over top of the presentation to demonstrate simple things) Tim
