Hello, I am a 4th grade teacher and getting my Master's Degree in Educational Technology. I am wondering if anyone uses this program with elementary students...
Christine - I hope others answer as well but one place to look is at the WebLabs Project. This is a research project in Europe using ToonTalk with 10 to 14...
Dear ToonTalkers - Regarding the recent discussion about how often robots should run, I implemented a toontalk.ini option and turned it on by default to go...
Hi all. The core of this issue is what does it mean if you have a robot that repeatedly adds 1 to the width of a picture. Should one expect the width to grow...
Dear ToonTalkers, Jerry Balzano sent me a message and I thought it most appropriate to reply here. ... There are many "die-hard Tutorial Guys" like you. The...
Suppose I am allowed to design a box with however many holes in it I chose (at least one) and I am allowed to build a team of robots that can work on the box....
Hi. Interesting topic. (Why did this drift off of ToonTalk@YahooGroups? Any objection to bringing the others up to date?) Jack is right. Back in my hard-core...
... ToonTalk@YahooGroups? Any ... No doubt because I posted it as a problem people might want to work on and Yishay Mor decided not to spoil it for others....
Hi all. I thought more about my "short circuit" technique and realize that I don't need dummy forwarders. When a task completes it just gives the nest that...
In this ramble I give in brief where I stand vis a vis computer science this month and how I see its history and the history of my own attention to this field....
By the way, I have seen Lucy in Addis Ababa. She is shockingly poorly guarded. She lies curled up in their general museum of culture, art, and natural...
Thanks for your note. Many comments follow. [WARNING: Much of the following is probably inscrutable to those without a strong computer science background.] ......
Perhaps I should explain that, as Jack mentioned in his previous message, Lucy is the name of a programming language I designed with Vijay Saraswat. It was...
... Eh? I thought they could not deliver nests, and you could only have exactly one nest per house. By putting that restriction in Lucy you made the...
Lists "In other words, I used only boxes with 2 holes. So the list (a b c) was not the box [a | b | c] but instead [a | [b | [c | []]]]. (The [] is supposed to...
Whoops, Jack is right. Birds carry only birds in Lucy. Best, -ken ... From: "Jack Waugh" <waugh@...> To: <ToonTalk@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Saturday, May 08,...
A given TT robot has to be written around one and only one model of how continuations are working in the programming style that that robot is participating in....
I came across a case where I thought I was programming a solution to a fairly simple problem, but the operations that could go into one robot in theory were...
Hi Jack, About this last bit: you already have half of an unambiguous end. - Hold book; - Press 1 - Press - Now you're at the last page. The other half is...
Leonel and Jack - Interesting topic. Just today I was making "sequential" robots into a team as Leonel suggests. The first robot does a bit and changes the box...
Dear Jack and other ToonTalkers - I've noticed that many such bugs don't arise if one starts with a good example box when training robots. While training with...
The manual says that if you put a book on a truck before adding a robot and a box to the truck, the robot will use the given book instead of the programmer's...
Good question. What this really means (I should clarify the documentation) is that if you train a robot to drop a text pad or number pad on the main notebook ...
In communicating with each other, human beings often enter special areas of discourse in which they employ jargons. These dialects are supposed to work more...
Hi Jack, I like the idea of devising a technical terminology for ToonTalk. I'm not so keen on a jargon proper, in the sense that the word itself implies a...
I notice that whenever I get up and leave a house, Tooly comes with me. I don't see him leaving a copy of himself behind. If I have left robots working there...
Another good question. I think the solution would be that robots work with a copy of Tooly after he leaves. As it is robots use copies of Dusty and Maggie....
Hi Ken, Not to mention that almost all would like to be able to "play" in the lawn - i.e., for things to work as usual there also. Inté, Leonel ... From: Ken...
