I continue to develop Phratch, the port of Scratch in Pharo. Phratch is a visual programming language on top of Pharo.
There are lots of new features:
- Settings
- FileSystems
- Metacello
- integration of BYOB (allows to build your own blocks)
- integration of Color and Files
- a lot of new useful blocks
- projects saved with Fuel
- possibility to implement new features without modifying the core of the system
- possibility to customize the environment: add new categories, add new kinds of Sprite, add new blocks.
Phratch is available for Pharo2.0 with the following configuration:
Gofer it url: 'http://smalltalkhub.com/mc/JLaval/Phratch/main' username: '' password: ''; package: 'ConfigurationOfPhratch'; load. ((Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfPhratch) project version: '1.0') load. (Smalltalk at: #PhratchFrameMorph) open perform: #saveImageForEndUserSilently.
I hope to write documentations about all of the new features asap.
Why not add a copy of the config in the MetaRepoForPharo20 on SS3.
This way it will appear in the config browser and can easily be loaded with a few clicks.
For the script you could add a metacello postload method (maybe asking the user if he want to finalize/save for end user experience or just run it)
