More: Re: [Etoys] Example projects

[Alan Kay]

Hi Folks --

Here are a few more projects and thumbnails.

I found a few oddities in doing these:

- Thumbnailing in a Playfield seems to make a new object and rename 
it, and it doesn't get expanded (sometimes) when you pull it back 
out. This happened with the costumes bin in the Computer Logic Game.

- Also in the Computer Logic Game, I found that the use of "graphic" 
had the drawback of not respecting the center point (as does "look 
like"). You can see this with the creeping of the loudspeaker when 
being activated.

- OTOH, "look like" seems to object to being copied while a script is running.

None of these are worth rushing to fix, except perhaps for the 
strange thumbnailing behavior. (Also there is the old bad 
disappearence requiring "round up strays" when you drop something 
into a playfield that has thumbnailing on).

- I notice that the "next project" option is not in the Nav bar 
anymore, but the "pref" still is. Seems like we should just have the 
same conventions that the browsers have here.

- What is the plan for getting to projects in an image?

Cheers,

Alan
