How to setup Bloc?

This post was updated on .

Hello I have trouble with Bloc. I tried to install it like this as I read it
in a paper on Bloc: https://ci.inria.fr/pharo-contribution/job/PharoBookWorkInProgress/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/book-result/Bloc/Bloc.html

Metacello new
    baseline: 'Bloc';
    repository: 'github://pharo-graphics/Bloc/src';
    load:#development

but then this does not work because there is no such class, install is send to nil:

MozLibraryInstaller install.

I had also trouble with the tutorial earlier. I could not see anything in
the preview altho the code was aparrently fine.
I really like to do something with bloc but I cant even set it up properly.
Please help me.

Hello Photon,

I have literally no idea where you found this paper but it is years old.

Could you try to install it according to instructions on Bloc GitHub page:

https://github.com/pharo-graphics/Bloc

You might also want to try a MemoryGame tutorial:

https://github.com/pharo-graphics/Tutorials

Let me know if something does not work.

P.S. Could somebody with access rights delete this page: https://ci.inria.fr/pharo-contribution/job/PharoBookWorkInProgress/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/book-result/Bloc/Bloc.html ?

Hi Aliaksei,

thank you for your reply. I dowloade Bloc from the source you gave me and
realized the memory tutorial is the same one wich was shown at the
PharoDays2017. I watched this video yesterday and tried to follow along but
it did not quite work. That was the reason why I found this strange old
paper.

I did it now again but following the PDF file. I get the same kind of
problem. The code seems to be right but when I run a new Card object wich
should be grey sqaure by this point the Inspector shows nothing.
Resetting the Bloc universe did not help either.

It looks like it would be empty. Do you have any idea how I can fix this?

Hello Photon,

MgdRawCardElement does not exist in in MemoryGame. It looks like you created it yourself.

Please, give us more information. For example share the implementation of that class. I am not a clairvoyant to tell where is a problem in your code without actually seeing the code.

Cheers,

Alex

Id did it following this pdf: http://files.pharo.org/books-pdfs/booklet-Bloc/2017-11-09-memorygame.pdf

"Thats the class"
        BlElement subclass: #MgdRawCardElement
	   instanceVariableNames: 'card'
	   classVariableNames: ''
	   package: 'Bloc-MemoryGame-Demo-Elements'
	
"accessing"	
	card
	^card
	
	card: aMgCard
	 card := aMgCard 
	
"visual properties"
	backgroundPaint
	^Color lightGray 
	
"initialization"
       initialize
	super initialize.
	self size: 80@80.
	self card: (MgdCardModel new symbol: $a)

Re: How to I setup Bloc?

Then the behaviour you get is expected one. There is no bug or issue there.

On page 12 in section 3.2 (Starting to draw a card) it tells you to implement a drawOnSparta: method. After that you should get the same as on Figure 3-1.

Since you didn't implement it, you obviously get nothing. It is like to only buy a garage and then being surprised that there is no car inside ;)
