Re: Squeak Smalltalk Chapter 3
How do I create a new variable/method? After right-clicking, there doesn't seem to be anything that says "create new variable" etc.
EDIT: I mean in the System Browser. I'm trying to make your stage panning block

Like making variables in between the '||' anywhere? Or is that just at the top?
I believe they can go anywhere, but why would you want them anywhere else? For it to look better? but you do have to put the |'s.
If you are reading this, please read to the end, because if you don't you won't know what's at the end. Don't just skip to the end though otherwise you won't be able to read the middle, which is most important. Now you must be wondering why you just read all that, the reason is you may have not noticed something, read it again and see if you notice it this time

to create a new method, simply put your method in instance (for a scratch block) by clicking the instance button. Put it in any of the ops, if you cannot chose, use 'other ops'. Click on any method under your op, and backspace the WHOLE method (in the big box at the bottom), don't worry as long as you remember to backspace the whole thing it will not ruin the method. Now type/paste your method in the blank. For a variable INSIDE of a method (like BYOB's script variable) at the top of the page put two up and down lines: || (if you have a keyboard which does not contain them like mine, copy them) put the name of your variable in-between the lines. if you want more than one variable press space and make another name.

EDIT: I mean in the System Browser. I'm trying to make your stage panning blockto create a new method, simply put your method in instance (for a scratch block) by clicking the instance button. Put it in any of the ops, if you cannot chose, use 'other ops'. Click on any method under your op, and backspace the WHOLE method (in the big box at the bottom), don't worry as long as you remember to backspace the whole thing it will not ruin the method. Now type/paste your method in the blank. For a variable INSIDE of a method (like BYOB's script variable) at the top of the page put two up and down lines: || (if you have a keyboard which does not contain them like mine, copy them) put the name of your variable in-between the lines. if you want more than one variable press space and make another name.
Thanks.

Wait, so, apparently, only the stage moves, but the pen trails are still stuck there and also the sprites. Darn. D:

Yes sorry, but the stage costume moves behind the pen marks!

Since I fail (epicly) at Smalltalk, could you make a block that pans the pen trails? Thx if possible

I don't know if it is possible, next time I am looking through the browser I will see. I think I know how to make a pen draw by itself, or know how to find it.

Re: Squeak Smalltalk Chapter 3
Hey, I think you missed typed this:
$yourOneLetter = t2 ifTrue: [^ ChoiceArgMorph new getOptionsSelector: #yourNameForYourDropdown].
Isn't the 't2' supposed to be 'code'?

A couple things:

It is in private, not --all--

Still a great tutorial!

Yes. If you want a temp to be able to be accessed by the whole method, you do the top;
if you want it to only be accessed by part of the method, you put it above that part.
