Squeak: Cool, but Confusing!


I went ahead and started playing with Squeak, to get a feel for the Croquet project and how it might relate to the Open Agent Engine. The first thing I wanted to try was to play the included Chess game. Unfortunately, I couldn't find anything to explain how to do this.

There were HOWTO's to describe:
  1. How to run an IRC client.
  2. How to use the web browser.
  3. How to install updates.
  4. How to write your own SmallTalk code.
But how could I start an existing program that did not create any menu entries to launch them?

Answer:

1. World-click.
2. Select 'new morph'
3. Select 'from alphabetical list'
4. Find 'ChessMorph'
5. Voila...
