Hey Kirk,
I like Ralph's suggestion of doing the time/timing specific stuff on a
dedicated microcontroller.
I'd recommend going one better: use more than one microcontroller. Robots need
to do a lot in parallel; if the robot has to stop driving in order to think,
that's a problem (although th
Answer is yes. A lot of things have changed since then, but the book documents
a very valuable milestone in the evolution of the system.
Particularly the Smalltalk description on the interpreter VM is worth
investigation.
Almost nobody in the Squeak community is using the Reenskaug MVC archit
Hi Kirk,
By "default OS" I'm guessing you mean Raspbian.
On Linux, to be frank (not to be confused with Frank) I really think you're
better off building your own VM from sources. We don't have a JIT that I know
of for ARM based machines, so I'm guessing you want a "stack VM" or
stack-oriented
Some thoughts are available inline below.

I didn't really say that well. If you're modifying a method and don't observe a

There's a preference (I can't recall the name but it's something like "allow

computer. Anyhow enabling this preference is there for backwards compatibility
with old code that assigns to block args.

Unfortunately this is not a question with a short answer.

Maybe worth noting that #storeString might not work so well with a Morph that's

because Morphs hang onto a reference to their current World.
