Create a .exe application in Pharo 2.0

Hi Everybody,

i'd like to know what can i have to do to create a .exe application/desktop application, after creating a Package with all the working classes in Pharo 2.0. I created the Minesweeper game, and i'm tired to write into the workspace MSGame new openInWorld. How can i automatize that?

Thanks for the help guys!

W Pharo!

What you can do here, is using the preferences to automatically start your app when a pharo image is open :)

Then your Pharo.exe+your image will turn into a Minesweeper :)

Will preferences work if the application is distributed to other machines. I guess it might work if the preferences file sits next to the image file, but not automatically if it was installed on another machine via a ConfigurationOfXXX.

The other alternative may be to plug into the #startup mechanism. Take a look at the class PhLDeploymentScript in PharoLauncher [1].
Also you might find some interesting tips to carry over from [2] - but be aware that is written for old version Squeak 3.9.

How different it is from the mimesweeper in the games project?
