Contributing to Bloc

Hey guys, these last days I have taken a look at Bloc and really like its design. So I was wondering how I can be of assistance. I am not an experienced pharo jedi like you guys but I think I could do my small part to help make Bloc into a replacement for Morphic.

From what I see Bloc some issues rendering Morphs , for example tabs (window groups) and some glitches here and there.

So how am I proceed ? How I can help ?

I don't know a tabs example that is build with bloc.

The current bloc world renders a classic Morph on an AthensCanvas if they define a
#drawOnAthensCanvas: method.

If this is missing or not correctly working, we should change the

implementation in the Athens project (Athens-Morphic).

So how am I proceed ? How I can help ?

I think the first step has to be to move the Bloc repo under the Pharo team and define where contributions should go - I'm assuming to the current Pharo Inbox...

another weird problem i just found is that right side down arrow menu when clicked it opens in random location instead of bellow its icon. I tried it with System Browser.

By the way i am talking about already available Pharo tools and not bloc examples.

Hello,

in fact you are running morphic widget inside bloc. The compatibility is not 100%.

I guess here the problem is related to the global coordinate system of Morphic.

We will try to fix it.

Thanks for reporting.

Cheers

Alain

sorry for the late answer, I’m very busy ….
but thanks !!
for now I think the most important is to document bloc and to stress it
- by trying the examples or
- by trying to program new examples or
- by adding comments, fix the english or by asking questions.

Re: Contributing to Bloc

No problem waiting for an answer.

Ok then I will keep using it and reporting problems I find. Documenting is something I can do too, I am familiar with pillar , so I will send some pull requests when I get a good understanding of Bloc. Contributing examples is something I can do too, will wait for the move of bloc to a public repo I can contribute too including comments.

For now I will stress tests and report and then when I am familiar enough move to other tasks.

thats understanable and reasonable. I am impressed with how well it emulates Morphic so far.

Hello guys,

stupid question. I was searching but without success: where do I find the bloc-source to load that into an image for experimenting with it?
