An small "interactive art" project in Pharo, from a newbie
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, First thanks for Pharo. Is a really nice clean innovative environment I have just pointed it to some java teachers/users and they like the overall look and feel. Now some small context: I had taken a short seminar on interactive art. We have used vvvv[1] to make some small experiments and the idea was to use arduino with it, but being it windows only I though in exploring something easy to use and then I found Physical Etoys from Richo's team. [1] http://vvvv.org [2] http://tecnodacta.com.ar/gira/projects/physical-etoys/arduino/ We don't make any further work arduino, but the essence of the seminar was overlapping meanings to create new meanings. So my idea is to make some images appear and vanish slowly after a while and also put some microblogging flux of information. I started with etoys, but after seeing that the tile language will not give me the proper expressiveness to create this project I have "go down" to Smalltalk using Pharo. I'm a total newbie but I have found some ways to load images (using SketchMorph). Now I want to make them vanish slowly and also load the microblogging stream (from Twitter and Identica, containing an special hashtag). This is supposed to be a small week project but is taking longer. I have asked in the Squeakland and SqueakNewbies mailing list and I got an answer from the etoys perspective but is not what I need so any pointer to the proper documentation will be appreciated (hopefully on Sunday :-P) Meanwhile I will keep reading the Pharo by Example book trying to get the spirit of development process and waiting for your kindly help :), to hopefully get some prototype on Monday.

Thanks offray. I think that you should have a look at the work on ricardo moran and use the board from pharo. Now this is working well. Stef On Apr 24, 2011, at 4:03 AM, Offray Vladimir Luna Cárdenas wrote:

I have already seen that (the Physical etoys project). Now I want to make something not related with physical computing, but just making some graphic appear at a random position vanish slowly and load a twitter/identica feed. Any pointer on where I can find this solution?

I have no idea, but I cc'ed pharo-dev where you may have more chance. cheers mariano

you can create a Morph and change its color using the step method. and at the end delete it. It should be quite simple to do that and a good exercise for you to learn. Start with BorderedMorph new openInWorld. Stef On Apr 25, 2011, at 12:53 AM, Offray Vladimir Luna Cárdenas wrote:

I let you search a bit, but if you are lost at a point, I have done a similar Morph for auto vanishing balloon :) So for now, try to do it by your own, and if/when you want, I can provide you my sources ;) Ben On Apr 25, 2011, at 9:01 AM, Stéphane Ducasse wrote:
