Re: ToonTalk 3.28(X)

Hi.

If I were to design the sensors over again then those with textual
values (yes/no and see all/see some/see nothing) would be redesigned to
have an animated value much like the collision sensors have. But given
the way things currently work I recommend that people take the sensor
they want to use and type + to it to toggle between possible states and
use that for training. (Or when feasible get the sensor to show the
desired state.) I don't think typing 'y' 'e' 's' is a good idea but it
should work if someone does so.

Best,

Hi Ken,

This last bug makes me wonder: shouldn't there be a better way to
specify a sensor's value than the usual text comparison? It's a common
bug
for older students to use wrong case, or to be lazy about proper
spelling
(i.e., "nao" instead of "não" for "no")?

I only worry that addressing this moves ToonTalk into a symbolic
area, with symbols for yes, no, or even for different sensor positions.
Such
a move, I fear, would complicate matters for kids, rather than simplify
them.

Inté,

Leonel

TT328.zip and TT328X.zip are now available at
ftp://weblabs.eu.com/ToonTalk/Releases/

This fixes several display bugs and a very serious bug involving copying
user defined sounds. It also fixes a bug that can cause sensors to
change
language after a series of saves in a different language. This is a
serious
bug as well since some Swedish tools using yes/no sensors. They used to
match "nej" with "nej" and stopped working after being saved a few times
in
an English version of ToonTalk because they were changed to matching
"nej"
with "no".

Best,
