Would you settle for "is used mainly when making a recursive call..."?

Okay, what am I missing here?

I just think it's funny that it's always Jens' turn smile

new version of Morphic.js

Hi, all. I have just updated Morphic.js with basic text editing capabilities for TextMorphs (multi line, word wrapping strings). It feels kinda funny to re-invent how text editing works from the bare metal, but if we're contemplating to bootstrap BYOB4 at some point this needs to get done.

Cool. I have really enjoyed this and am inspired to work on a project of my own. Cause this is amazing! Its called Worldz.

Alpha testers: Please find bugs in the 3.1 Reference Manual (pdf). Thanks!

I've read with attention your reference manual. As clear as possible.
I've just to comment how to undertand greyed" expressions (or equivalent)

The difference between DIRECTION and THE [DIRECTION] BLOCK for example (*) exists for languages like Lisp and Logo.For Logo "NAME defines the "name" of a box ( or a drawer) (In fact a memory address ) whereas :NAME defines the "contents" of the box named "NAME (or drawer) (In fact a first-class expression).
SET Foo TO Value is an instruction allowing to fill the "drawer" Foo with the contents Value. It is like tinkery, a lot of small boxes containing many different objects !!

Yeah, coming. I'm waiting to be totally sure I know what the OOP primitives do. smile

another update on Morphic.js

I've extended the inspector window to be a universal object editor. Also new in the inspector is an evaluation pane in which you can type in any JavaScript expression and evaluate it in the context of the inspectee. Now we can (almost) use Morphic like Squeak.

Oh, and I've begun to implement turtle graphics, check out this Youtube video to find out how you can directly modify objects in Morphic.

Ideas and bugfixes welcome!

How about a painting tool? You could make a Paint Morph. That wouldn't be too hard.

Jens · 2011-04-14 07:34:09

Yup, that's all on the list. We definitely have to have a paint editor. But it's probably going to be a conglomeration of multiple Morphs, consisting of a paint canvas, a tool box, a text box etc.

Ugh, here's the correct link to the video:

Hoping to meet Scratchers along the way...

Whoa! That's quite a trip. Good luck!

Thanks. Two trips, actually; I get to spend almost two weeks at home in between. :-)

scimonster · 2011-04-17 01:02:15

Doesn't seem like you'll be near me.

Jens · 2011-04-17 03:05:53

Hong Kong: Apr. 21-26
USA: Jun. 2-26

bharvey · 2011-04-19 13:53:45

We are pleased to announce (finally) the official beta test release of BYOB 3.1.

Jens wrote:
this is the first beta build for v3.1. Apart from just a few minor bug fixes it features the capability to select "empty" for attribut slots and object slots, e.g. in the OF block.

Thanks for all the testing and bug reports,
enjoy!

Documentation, tools, etc. coming soon, but not today -- I have a proposal due tomorrow. sad

How would you want the tool? Like where you paint onto the world, or like scratch, where a morph pops up that you can draw on?

Jens · 2011-04-19 17:43:35

I think the paint editor, like in Scratch, should open in a separate window or dialog box, same as the blocks editor. That way it can be moved around, in case you want to look at what's otherwise hidden underneath it. But I'm open to suggestions. What do you think?

No, the congratulations come (maybe) around September or October when they decide who gets funded. It's going to be very competitive; they'll probably have about 100 times as many proposals as they can fund. Stay tuned.

bharvey · 2011-04-19 19:42:31

I lied; I got the documentation done today. Install the help screens in the Help/en folder, and here's the manual.

How will you take over the world if they don't fund CS 10? wink

Yeah, thats what I thought. I think that is a great idea! big_smile The reason I was wondering was because I thought I might just fiddle around with it. tongue
