Presenting Squeak
Please add resources here on presenting Squeak to folks.
- I gave a brownbag to Georgia Tech's GVU Center using the slides at http://coweb.cc.gatech.edu/cs2340/uploads/gvubb-nov99.ppt. I started out showing the video from "Triumph of the Nerds" of Adele Goldberg demonstrating Smalltalk-80, then Steve Jobs describing what he saw and what he missed. I continued by pointing out what else he missed. I used Squeak to demonstrate ST-80 features, then went on to show other cool things in Squeak. Mark Guzdial

Some tips for presentations:
See http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/925
for some enhanced morphs and a movie created with
Squeak. (including a tutorial how to do this)
You can also use the following code snippets in a workspace:
1. The worlds smallest drawing program (Author: Unknown)
myPen := Pen new defaultNib: 2.
myPen up; goto: Sensor mousePoint; down.
[Sensor waitButton ; yellowButtonPressed] whileFalse:
[Sensor redButtonPressed
ifTrue: [myPen goto: Sensor mousePoint]].
2. Star Wars like Scroller (Author: Bert Freudenberg)
"Star wars like scrolling"
warp _ (WarpBlt toForm: Display)
cellSize: 1;
sourceForm: Display;
cellSize: 2;
combinationRule: Form over.
src _ {-200@-100. -50@100. 50@100. 200@-100}.
dest _ 0@0 corner: 200@100.

[Sensor anyButtonPressed] whileFalse:
[warp copyQuad: src + Sensor cursorPoint

Maybe http://homes.acmecity.com/animation/dynamite/405/ can give you a
little help. It's not yet finished. Click on "About Squeak"
to find videos, screenshots, ...
Note that this page is temporary until I find a appropriate free server with
