Hi there a college mentioned Self to me when we were having a chat about pure OO languages so I thought I'd give it a go. I've downloaded the Cygwin version...
... How odd... the uncompressed size of Demo.snap for me is 12478724 bytes, which gzip can reduce down to just 3312508 bytes. I would try to just rename...
Thanks I didn't think of that but I used lynx in Cygwin to download the gzips and it worked. However, I've now found that Self/x86 doesn't work with the latest...
Is Self better significantly better optimized for x86 or PPC? Would a 3Ghz x86 likely make a better Self platform than a dual 1.4Ghz PPC? Just curious, Steve ...

... "Dual" doesn't help, so I would go with the 3GHz system. Having enough memory is really important. I'll run some benchmarks later this week and post the...
We expect to release a new version of the VM soon with good performance for the PPC. - Dave...

Hi, SV_RFID (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sv_rfid/) is a Yahoo group that aims to gather together those who have common interest in RFID, not only as just a...
... Hello When I found out that Self can now run on cygwin platform, I have decided to try out. (the linux engine on Mandrake 9.1 linux distribution runs fine...
Is Self's JIT code written in such a way that there is a layer that be useful as a library outside of Self? Also, has OpenGL been considered as an alternative...
... It would make the GUI code cross platform (at least across the major operating systems), which would be nice. And once it's there, you can never tell what...
... More than nice - it would be great! But my experience with OpenGL has not been very positive, specially on the PC (Windows and Linux). I get the feeling...
... I must admit that I'm a long time Mac user, so on this front, my experience is much more limited than yours. ... How does self handle text? I didn't see...
... I've tried lightning but it's buggy on PPC. I hadn't seen ccg before - it looks great. Thanks! ... The advantage is much, much faster rendering(2d, or 3d)....
... Excellent antialiased text support isn't difficult to add using freetype and a bit of code to cache the rendered characters into a texture. Io does this,...
... The 'drawString:At:GC:' method calls platform specific code to do the real work. ... Imagine a red, metalic cylinder. With a white stripe near the bottom. ...
... that ... I don't know what the delay time is, but it certainly feels much slower than a normal desktop app. Unfortunately, the result is that people may ...
... My mistake - and I'd even implemented the draw_text(const char* text, int x, int y) method in my GlutWindow.c file.... It was just too long ago I guess. ...
... Morphic is not exactly famous for its speed in Squeak either. This is the price you have to pay for "liveness" in the GUI. There is a lot of overhead to...
... I found all Squeak rendering (not just Morphic) to be slow. I suspect the bottle neck has more to do with the rendering architecture than too many messages...
Regarding OpenGL sacalability - MacOS Quartz Extreme is an OpenGL desktop, and I'd say 2D textures are supported very well (each window is a texture). SGI...
... I don't really care if they are multiple textures or one as long as they look right as I zoom closer and they are "live" (I can move the circle a littler...
... I'm not sure what you mean. If you mean you want to keep a copy of a frame buffer and draw over it, you can do that in-hardware using OpenGL too. Maybe...
Subject: New Self release We're pleased to announce a new Self release. The major addition is the availability of the optimizing compiler (the Simple...

Has anybody ever used a serial port from Self on a Sparc machine? I tried the obvious (opening a unixFile named "/dev/cua/b") but seem to have permission...
