One more project idea for Smalltalk GSoC 2013.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Title: Phratch, a port of Scratch to Pharo 2.0
Level: intermediate
Possible mentor: Jannick Laval
Possible second mentor: Serge Stinckwich
Description: Phratch (
https://code.google.com/p/phratch/) is an
ongoing port of Scratch and BYOB on Pharo 2.0. The current prototype
is still suffering from a lot of bugs. Part of the work will be to add
unit tests to the existing project. Even if this is a port to Pharo,
we will try to build a new version that is flavor-independent.
The long term objective of Phratch is to be able to use it for
teaching software engineering and robotics.
Technical Details: Pharo and some knowledge of Squeak
Benefits to the Student: Student will participate to a very cool project.
Benefits to the Community: Scratch will be rebuild on top of a modern
Smalltalk version and will benefit from lastest development in the
core library and VM.
