space invaders in Smalltalk?

I am looking at open source versions of space invaders games.
I am contemplating making modifications to the game to make it
more educational in a mathematical sort of way. I have found
one version in Python but now I am wondering if there are any
Smalltalk versions of space invaders or its variants.

It would be more fun to do this in Smalltalk (preferably Squeak
or Pharo) than in Python.

Other interested parties welcome.

Re: space invaders in Smalltalk?

I've got a partially working version of Asteroids for squeak on OpenGL
as part of My OpenGL tutorials package. I believe that you can search
squeaksource and find a space invaders game written entirely in Morphic,
which is probably slow but suitable for teaching.

My package is on the Open Cobalt repository at
http://www.opencobalt.org /contributions repository directory.

A very long time ago I implemented an 8080 emulator in Squeak that could run the original space invaders.
I would need to search whether I still have it.
But this is probably not what you're looking for :-)

There are some Break Out games that are quite nice:

I made a Space Invader tutorial for Etoys a long time a go but I don't have it around any more.

There is http://simberon.blogspot.com/2012/01/space-wars-game.html but
it is based on VisualWorks.
No idea how hard a port to Morphic would be
