]]> Comment on When will we have a real multi-user windowing system by Kris Kemper http://blog.kriskemper.com/2008/10/28/when-will-we-have-a-real-multi-user-windowing-system/#comment-1694 Kris Kemper Mon, 17 Nov 2008 15:08:03 +0000 http://blog.kriskemper.com/2008/10/28/when-will-we-have-a-real-multi-user-windowing-system/#comment-1694 Actually, I think that the squeak UI generally allows for multiple users. When I was doing projects in Squeak back in college, I seem to remember the concept of multiple "hands." In my case, I was scripting an avatar that would click on stuff for the user in order to teach them how to use squeak. Can't remember about multiple focus itself - that may have assumed single user. OpenCroquet looks pretty cool - looks like an upgraded Wonderland (the 3d api written by Jeff Peirce). Actually, I think that the squeak UI generally allows for multiple users.

I know I'm frequently Lisp/Smalltalk-crazy, but OpenCroquet is probably the closest thing to what you're describing here. What’s up dude.

Do you perhaps have a list of methods/hooks that you think would be good to know about. Even if they are insufficient, I can always reduce the scope of the tool if I decide to build it.

It's also quite hard to intercept stuff in a manner which guarantees that the code being observed will be left unaffected. The only viable alternative AFAIK is to write a 'noisy' variant of the language itself, which though slow will have dozens more hooks and callbacks. Since C makes me want to run away and hide, I'd gotten started with JRuby, but stopped soon after for various reasons I no longer remember.
