Hi, I'm introducing Mars (just another world) Mars is a world for Squeak (and all it's forks) builded as an MVC on top of Cocoa (OSX framework) and OmniBrowser. For that reason, Mars just runs on OSX environments. While this project has some similariries with SqueakGTK and wxSqueak, it has big differences: 1) Mars is not a port of Cocoa for squeak, is just an MVC implementation who uses Cocoa. Why that "subtle" distinction? well, SqueakGTK is a full port of GTK+ library and for that reason, a little big a and a little too complex. I'm following simplicity as one of the project goals. 2) Mars is a plugin, and will run in any fork of squeak, and OB-Mars (Mars world) will run in any fork of squeak who can load OmniBrowser. This is a big difference with wxSqueak, wich is a fork it self (and requires an special VM)
And of course, while both efforts (SqueakGTK and wxWidgets) are cool, none of them can be executed (and won't ever be) in small environments, like the iphone, which is one of my main objectives (using John's new VM and Edgar's work on minimal image building) Mars is MIT and can be downloaded following instructions from here: http://www.smallworks.com.ar/productos/Mars/Download For more details (history, blog, etc.), you can go to: http://www.smallworks.com.ar/productos/Mars DISCLAIMER: Right now, Mars is vere-very alpha stage (though it runs and can be used) and I would love any contribution in the form of: bug reports (there will be a lot now), feature requests, comments, and of course, code :) Cheers, Esteban -- "Querer es suscitar las paradojas" Camus.
