Code clarification

Hi Howard,

Just to clarify some of the code snippet

        " Add to the current space. "
        replica := hand world ownerMorph harness avatar replica.
        root := replica future root.
        root future addChild: eventFrame.

What does "hand world ownerMorph harness avatar replica" convey.

I know in bits and pieces ( hand is cursor, world is the outermostcontainer ..etc)

Overall could you pls explain?

Also how does 'hand' get defined to CPlayer or some such classes, ( how does it get the context without defining the class in which it resides)

Apologies for my knowledge.

Thanks & Regards

Kiran

"hand world ownerMorph" is all Squeak-Morphic stuff. "harness" is the entry-point to Croquet. "avatar" is the object that mediates your interactions with the world (eg: movement), and replica is the replicated version of your avatar that exists within all participants' replicated islands.

Re: Code clarification

Thanks for the inputs.

Also hand variable is an instance variable..so i understand that should be accessible to all subclasses derived from CPlayer ( in this context CroquetMenuProject.
