Re: Panther Tutorial?
Panther is a program based off of Scratch, but it isn't how Scratch is coded.
Scratch uses something called Squeak Smalltalk. There isn't really a tutorial for it, as far as I know of, and really any of the coding I know is just from experience and trial and error.

Here is an OK tutorial, but it doesn't give you any specifics.

Panther isn't the language behind Scratch. It is simply a hacked/modified version of Scratch. The real language behind Scratch is a language called Squeak, which is based off of Smalltalk-80.
As for a tutorial, there are plenty. you could try the ones here, at teh Squeak website. http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/792
You'll also have to download Squeak itself if you want to fully explore, but that's up to you.
YAY! MY 100th POST!

Re: Panther Tutorial?
Squeak Smalltalk is easy to understand. If you want to learn how to write Squeak Smalltalk code, you should start off by looking at these tutorials:
Making a Flip Block
Creating a Useful Boolean Block
Adding an Open URL Bllock

The glass is never half full nor half empty; it is twice as large as it needs to be.

thank you very much for clarifying, though I would appreciate it if you did not refer to Panther as a "hack" as we are not hacking scratch at all, we are using the seperately released 1.4 source code and editing it in Squeak. I would just like to point that out as there is a big difference and we'd rather not be seen as hackers, that being a slightly less impressive role.

Yes, it is making a modifcation of Scratch with new features, not hacking Scratch.
