Dear ToonTalkers - After thinking about Leonel's suggestion that ToonTalk be customizable so that tools work just once per click, I decided to implement it....
Dear ToonTalkers - Beta 36 is now available. It introduces support for saving and restoring ToonTalk objects in XML. It also supports screen resolutions...
Hi, My son would like to launch a browser and open hyperlinks from within ToonTalk. I tried using the File add-in, giving it a URL to open instead of a...
Hi all. Steve asks an interesting question -- how can ToonTalk launch another program (a browser in this case)? I'm afraid it probably can't even though there...
Dear ToonTalkers - Beta 37 fixes several bugs (including some installation bugs that occurred with the previous beta if was loaded on top of an old version of...
Dear ToonTalkers and WebLabers -- WebLabs (a new European project building science and math material on top of ToonTalk) has been having an active discussion...
Jacob and Ylva - Thanks for the report. Regarding "There seem to be some problems with the touching who. When the robots tries to flip the touch who sensor it...
Hi all. All the more reason why error messages are so important. If Jakob, who has been building things in ToonTalk for more than 3 years, can get confused by...

Micke brings up some interesting points. I think he is right that the sensors like "file to picture", "file to sound", etc. could work as functions as he...
Hi. Here's what I think is happening. The robot starts running because the "touches who" sensor is showing something. Before the robot manages to apply the...
Aha - at first I thought your suggestion was wrong because I had actually dropped one ball on the other (f11) so that they should have been touching...
Hi all. Gordon guessed right. When the robot was running off screen (in this case on the back of a picture) then it undid the collision and then vacuumed the...
I created a very simple robot, but wanted to give it a distingtive look. So, I created a very simple image (bmp), pulled it into TT, and droped the robot on...
Hi. This topic was discussed at toontalk@yahoogroups last March. See for example http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ToonTalk/message/117 One of the simplest...
Ken, I am experiencing a strange bug with a RightCollision sensor. Try the following with the attached: 1. take out ball and box of 4 items 2. make the ball...
Hi all. I was only able to reproduce this by dropping the ball on the button of a tool (e.g. Dusty's). Then when you enter the thought bubble the tool moves...
Hi all. There are multiple issues regarding dealing with user media files here: 1. Full path name vs. short name for user media inside of ToonTalk creations....
HI all. Ylva - thanks for the bug report. I'll track down the problem of Dusty sometimes sucking twice despite DustyUsedOncePerClick=1 in toontalk.ini...
If you train a robot to do something then suck his thought bubble clean, it is possible to drop an input straight into his thought bubble (i.e. you do not go...
Ken, I'm thinking of a scenario where we set up a repository for TT modules, something like http://www.jars.com/ is for Java. Now, when someone posts a module ...
Hi all. Gordon asks a good question. I think if you retrain a robot and make any change then the resulting robot should have a different name. My reasoning is...
Hi all. Gordon asks more good questions. First a bit of history. Retraining of robots can many years after ToonTalk first started having users. One frequently...
Hi all. Yishay has some good suggestions. There are some issues that need to be resolved. 1. What about sharing of media files? In Playground there were many...
Ken, If I understood Gordon correctly, he expected the robot's name to remain the same until yo explicitly changed it. What happens is that you name a robot...
My intuition about both 1 and 2 is that the index.xml file solves that. That file would map media objects to files, so you could map things to common /...
Hi all. I'm uncertain and would like to hear from others on this question of the name of a retrained robot. I think the fundamental underlying issue is whether...
Hi all. Micke Kindborg sent me the following. My comments follow. I think it makes sense to keep the name if you retrain a robot. I might confuse children if...
