Etoys in 2017?

Hello

In 2016 Etoys was merged back into the trunk image.
http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/6419

How do I open an Etoys project in the current 6.0a development image?

What is the status of it currently? Is it ready for limited use?

Regards
Hannes

You simply drop it in. E.g. download this project

The trunk image is ready for experimenting, but not for use with students. Tim Felgentreff built an image based on trunk that they actually used for an online course at HPI in Potsdam:

https://open.hpi.de/courses/etoys2016/

That image contains quite a few hacks, including one that makes it use German by default. You can download it here:

You could help by porting some stuff from that image to trunk. I imagine having an "Etoys" entry in the "open" menu that would create a new morphic project and set up the preferences suitable for Etoys. That would it make way easier to experiment and fix stuff that is still broken.

This works fine. It creates a subproject 'CarAndPen'. Deprecation
warnings pop up because of the Preferences changes caused by the new
user interfaces themes. See separate thread.
