[Etoys] Connect two or more eToys Worlds

[Mauro Esposito]

Hi again!,
First of all, thank you very much Bert. Your answer showed me the path. I
could see how senders and listeners work but i found another possible
solution: when I was looking for information about it, I found answers that
mentioned the NebraskaServerMorph and the NetworkTerminalServer.. I think
this is more appropiate for my solution; I can serve my world and other
terminals can connect to it and work in it as if they were the owners of
that world i'm sharing.
Now i'm still working on it because i can only serve the "main" world.. I
created subworlds doing

|myworld|
myworld _ (PasteUpMorph newWorldForProject:nil).
myworld color: Color blue.
myworld openInWorld.
myworld viewBox: (19 en 19 extent: 300 en 300).

and I tried to serve it doing:

NebraskaServerMorph serveWorld: myworld.

it seems to work but when i want to connect to it from another pc, creating
a NetworkTerminalMorph and opening it in scaled mode, i can't see anything!
I repeat, It doesn't happens with the main world..
Maybe I have to set another property to the created subworld that allows it
to be shared, i don't know! I don't want to share the main world because the
clients could access to all the visible options and do modifications (maybe
unwanted modifications) in that image.
It's a special case but maybe someone worked on something like that and can
help me..
Thank you!
