Pharo Smalltalk on XO

What is specific to the XO OLPC laptop is its usability under direct sun exposure: both its dual screen mode and its user interface (Sugar) is designed for that.

To make Pharo Smalltalk a reference development platform on XO, it must come with an user interface matching the original Sugar one. I have tested the work in progress of the Sugar theme for Pharo Smalltalk in real conditions: an XO laptop + Pharo Smalltalk with Sugar theme + direct sun exposure.

Feel free to comment and to suggest at the end of this review.

Follow a few screen shots:

Sugar theme for Pharo Smalltalk

Here is a screen shot of a Sugar theme for the Pharo Smalltalk user interface.

The idea is really to get Pharo Smalltalk as a platform to develop educative application for the XO OLPC Sugar based kid notebook.

Moreover, with Pharo Smalltalk kids really get access to source code they can examine and modify while the application is running. DrGeo will also take advantage of this theme.

This UI theme try to follow the Sugar UI theme used in the laptop. There are still many points to improve, if you are interested or you want to comment please do it bellow.

The idea of this theme is to get an usable UI with a black and white screen.

Sierpinski triangle

With DrGeo, in a workspace, an interactive Sierpinski triangle can be computed when executing:

triangle := [:s1 :s2 :s3 :n |
    c segment: s1 to: s2;
        segment: s2 to: s3;
        segment: s3 to: s1.
    n >0 ifTrue:
        [triangle
            value: s1
            value: (c middleOf: s1 and: s2) hide
            value: (c middleOf: s1 and: s3) hide
            value: n-1.
        triangle
            value: (c middleOf: s1 and: s2) hide
            value: s2
            value: (c middleOf: s2 and: s3) hide
            value: n-1.
        triangle
            value: (c middleOf: s1 and: s3) hide
            value: (c middleOf: s2 and: s3) hide
            value: s3
            value: n-1.]].

c := DrGeoCanvas new.
triangle
    value: (c point: 0 @ 3)
    value: (c point: 4 @ -3)
    value: (c point: -4 @ -3)
    value: 3.

Of course, the result is all interactive.
