Hi everybody!
All squeakers are invited (one more time, I know) to download and try the MorphicWrapper package.
http://www.dm.uba.ar/MathMorphs (search them under the title "MorphicWrappers and Books")
(For those of you that allready have the package, consider downloading this new version)
MorphicWrappers where first implemented by Luciano Luciano@core-sdi.com and Richie gera@core-sdi.com in the times when many people at Sugar were trying to understand Morphic. They did the work as a way to learn Squeak. Now the package has grown into a useful framework. Some other people have contributed to the package too:
Daniel Vainsencher danielv@netvision.net.il Pablo Malavolta murphy@ba.net Valeria Murgia valeria@sugarWeb.com Leandro Caniglia leandro@sugarWeb.com
With MorphicWrappers installed in your image, you enjoy some nice properities:
- Any object is able to live in a Morphic World. - Any Squeak expression can be written and evaluated on the air. - You send messages dragging and droppoing objects (the arguments) and double clicking the receiver. - You edit Squeak Classes using ClassMorphicWrappers. - You never need a Workspace and almost never open a Browser when programming.
For example, with MW installed you don't need FillInTheBlankMorph any more! Instead you use RequestBoxMorph which is polymorphic to the former but has the (exceptional) ability to request *any* object, not just a String!
Using MW is real cool. Please, try them and send us your feedback, we will stay here waiting for your comments. Also take into account that all contributions on ideas, bug reports, or code will be wellcome.
Many thanks Leandro (for the MW team)
