I'm new to Pharo ,my problem is when I try to run the BouncingAtomsMorph openInWorld example I keep getting the following error message:

Unknown variable:BouncingAtomsMorph openInWorld please correct or cancel

Please help!


Solution

  • Sadly Bouncing Atoms are no longer included in the standard distribution of newer Pharo versions.

    To load it evaluate in a workspace or playground:

    Gofer it 
         url: 'http://smalltalkhub.com/mc/PharoExtras/MorphExamplesAndDemos/main';
         package: 'MorphExamplesAndDemos';
         load.
    

    Then

    BouncingAtomsMorph new openInWorld
    

    will work.


    Pharo 5 update:

    The MorphExamplesAndDemos package does no longer load correctly starting with Pharo 5. As described here, you can still look at the BouncingAtomsMorph by just clicking on Abandon when a debugger message tells you that this message is no longer understood (It's a problem with another example in the same package):
