Hilaire have a look at the code updater because it looks on a server for a file and download other files
based on the first tile. you can send a zip file that contains code and fuel object.
In fact .sar file was just a zip file renamed with some code.

You can install sounds in Pharo as object or you can install them as a file using fuel.

Fule can be used to send code but this is more experimental.
Tanker is not ready.

offTopic - Dragon Box algebra Re: Extending a Pharo App with remote content

In reply to this post by hilaire

Hi Hilaire,

This is entirely off-topic, but I know you develop on iPad and I am
guessing you are generally interested in Maths teaching... So I just
want to to tip you on a really unique app that teaches basics of algebra
to kids that my five year old enjoys playing it. Its called Dragon
Box. I'm posting to the mail-list in case anyone else with kids finds
it interesting.

cheers -ben

As Stef says, Tanker is a prototype we built to export/import code using Fuel. It showed us great power, like loading whole seaside in 10 seconds. But still, it is an experiment, and there are two or 3 things that should be done/completed so that it could be considered stable. Search in the web, I presented it at ESUG (don't remember which year), Max presented it in PharoConf, etc....

Cheers,
