I want my old adult Squeak back

Hi all --

 My old adult Squeak has gone! My niece has been fooling around with it.
 I'd like to have my flap with all the standard adult smalltalk tools in it.
 Even my World menu looks different.
 Any ideas?

 TIA.

 Henry

if you have a latest image, the world menu should have "flap..." as a
selection. In that selection you can turn on and off flaps.

Don't let kids play with Squeak! This is an adult software!

We also have your "robot factory" installed, Stephane. :-))
Last night I taught her looping, and she learned about variables, too.
We had great fun!

Cheers,

Henry

Do not say it too loud! We should not have fun we are serious  
programmers.
Real programmers like complex languages.

We installed your robot software and have been reading your book. She
is going to go to the 5th grade, but I already taught her about
varibales. We even refactored code!


Now, on a serious note - the Squeak environment is very complexx.
We installed something (was it Smallland), and now I can't revert to
the default evironment (the one that has the Tools flap).

How do I get it back?
Sould I install a new image?

TIA

Stef,

        I'm doing the Bots Inc thing with my son and we have a problem on the  
debugging section. When we code

self halt.

        That brings up the debugger and then continues. It doesn't halt!

        Done inside the 4 timesRepeat loop, it brings up four debuggers, all  
useless because the program keeps going and terminated before you can do  
anything with it.

        Anyone have any ideas?

Hi Blake

I could be well off base here - I'm a beginner too!

Bert told me... "doOnlyOnce:" is essential for not getting a gazillion of
debuggers.  Read its comment to learn how to rearm it.

Here's how Bert suggested it be used with 'halt'.

self doOnlyOnce: [self halt].

As for why the system keeps running I can only suggest that its by design.  
Squeak is different to other languages because its actually an environment,
and a remarkable environment with 'late binding' such that objects (classes
and instances) can be dynamically changed during runtime.  So you can debug
- actually change code - without stopping the system.

Of course you may WANT to stop the system because defective code could be
dangerous - but that would be different to what should be default behaviour
for a debugger in the context of Squeak.  To actually stop your code you'd
have to send it a message that it can handle I guess :)  You'd need a
'freeze' method.

self halt. is usually OK by itself (certainly for the beginning bots inc
stuff). doOnlyOnce is particularly useful for debugging GUI event code
that would otherwise keep firing (or really for debugging in a loop).

That's true enough, but the stack you are debugging shouldn't continue.

Unfortunately, I can't think what might be wrong. I've gone through Bots
Inc without hitting this one.

I haven't had a chance to try this out but if it doesn't work...reinstall?

I downloaded the ReadyPC image from the SCGSmallWiki site and I am able
to repeat the problem.

I think it is something wrong with the Bot Workspace. I am able to
repeat your bug if I click the Do It or Do It All buttons in the Bot
Workspace.

The good news is you can workaround the problem (by not using the
buttons). Instead, press Alt+D or (Command+D on Mac) to invoke the do it
command. This is what I normally do and explains why I didn't notice the
problem when working through the book.

The Bot Workspace was added for the book. I bet the buttons worked at
one point and a code change broke them. Went unnoticed because a lot of
Squeakers already use the right-click context menus or the keyboard
shortcuts.

I'm running windows. Can someone test on Mac and/or Linux?
