We have loved the StarLogo approach to "particle systems" since Mitchel Reznick built the first one at MIT. One of our plans is to be able to offer similar (but not necessarily identical) features in Squeak. John made a first pass at this with StarLogoWorld, and we will offer further versions occasionally as they get built. There are no deadlines in the current plans. If you and others on the Squeak list are interested, we could have John put out what's working now, and perhaps our terrific Open Source community can make some progress while we are occupied with our current goals.
Cheers,
Alan

Oh no! I sent Stephane to the *wrong location* again!
Er...since I've unwittingly draw your eye, *is* there a word about StarLogoWorld that can be shared at this time?

I'm really interested into StarLogo
But could not find it at the location you mentionned
Sorry, didn't mean to imply that it was. The description is there. The code is, as far as I know, unreleased.
Could you send me the ritgh location
Go to Squeak Central. Find John Maloney's office. Break in. Find his computer. Look for a project called "StarLogoWorld" :)
