[IAEP] [support-gang] Which Language?

[Alan Kay]

Not to make this discussion more complicated, but ...

Squeak/Etoys runs on everything whether Sugar or not, runs in the browser or as a standalone, and a Squeak "project" is completely independent of any environment except Squeak.

Both Etoys and Scratch (and many other apps) are written entirely in Squeak (which is an open source version of Smalltalk-80 with a comprehensive library).

Etoys at: http://www.squeakland.org/

Squeak at: http://www.squeak.org/

Cheers,

Alan

A great deal of useful information about developing activities for the Sugar environment can be found on the Sugar Labs wiki.  I would recommend starting with this page and following links from there.

When more detailed questions arise (as they will), the best place to address them is the Sugar Developers list:

I think he would really like to do it all on the XO. Is this possible? How does it get from terminal mode to being a regular Activity?
