Detecting keyboard state / finding older fixes

(resend, as previously not subscribed and message blocked waiting
approval)

I'm using my qwerty/azerty keyboard for input to a game. The issue is that when
you press and hold a key, you receive repeats of the key press from the
operating system. I'd like to check the real position of a key, up or down, so I
can ignore the repeats. I can't find any way to do this.

There is a reference here
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.smalltalk.squeak.general/4034 to a fix
to do this, but the links:
http://swiki.gsug.org:8080/sqfixes/2634.html
http://209.143.91.36/super/589
http://swiki.gsug.org/sqfixes/2629.html
Are all dead; they date from 2002.

Is there a way in the current version to do what I need, or is there a more
recent archive of fixes that I'm missing?

...Stan

Hello Stan,

Keyboard event understands #isKeyDown and #isKeyUp.

Hello Stan,

I forgot:

sff>> operating system. I'd like to check the real position of a key, up or down, so I
sff>> can ignore the repeats. I can't find any way to do this.

HK> Keyboard event understands #isKeyDown and #isKeyUp.

and don't forget to check the event's timestamp. Never did this myself
but you can not rely on the fact that you will receive keyDown before
keyUp.

Cheers

dunno if it's the same thing, but most squeak's have chess
pre-installed:

World > objects > games > chess

Drag it out to open it

RE: Chess

Thanks Matt
 
That worked; that was too easy.
I thought I had to type some magic sequence of commands in the Squeak workspace!!

Parse an argument for a symbol that requires one

Hi guys,

if you have a SimpleButtonMorph, you can decide what it should do and  
it's pretty easy. You say

self target: aTarget
actionSelector:  #someAction.

And it works. But what if not only an action should be executed, what  
if the actionSelector gets a symbol that requires an argument? In my  
case I need to change a variable first before further proceeding you  
see. So I am wondering if it is possible to do something like this:

self target: aTarget
actionSelector: #someAction: argumentRequired

I have tried many ways, including constructing the action first in  
temporary variables and then just using that temp variable as  
actionSelector string. All my efforts have been in vain. There is a  
way to solve this for me, but it would be very tedious to do and would  
increase the code volume... and that's not what I want.

If you have any ideas on this, let me know.

Thanks,
Marcus

Headless Squeak on Redhat - HELP!

I have a small (P3) server running Redhat, and I'm
trying to get Squeak running on it. Since there's no
monitor, and the graphics subsystem isn't started in
the usual runlevel, I need to run Squeak headless.

I put image and change file into a directory (read,
write, owned by user A) that should copy a couple of
files when run, using Smalltalk addToStartUpList:
MyClass. I load it up in Windows, and it works fine.

I load it in Linux:
[root <at> myserver A]# squeak -headless

The cursor goes to the next line, and nothing happens.

Any idea what's going wrong? How do I correct it? I
will happily furnish any other info or troubleshooting
that is needed.

THANK YOU!
Albegadeep

Re: Squeak for the Asus eee


It's segfaulting because of missing /proc/self/exe -> binfmt module. EEE has
stripped kernel :(
