| 31-Jul-2007 | Changed all e-mail references to use my Yahoo mail address. | |
| 31-Jul-2007 | 103A | Added a page to include some missing methods related to the rotate click region selection. |

| 20-Jul-2007 | 053, 065 | The instructions for creation of the LaserGame morph was not very explicit on page 53. The later situation on page 65 where the morph is opened now has a note describing that the reader may have made an error back on page 53 if they didn't see LaserGame in the morphs menu. |
| 19-Jul-2007 | 56 | One of the browser snap-shots on this page was incorrect. |
| 16-Jul-2007 | 218 | Fixed problems with World menu and halos access in deployed image. Added a blank initial grid condition and unit test. |
| 14-Jul-2007 | Notes Source Page | Just to show what is possible, I created the stand-alone Mac OS X version of this game with a custom icon and menu and posted it for download. |
| 13-Jul-2007 | 214 | Show the developer how to create a stand-alone application in OS X for our Laser Game written in Squeak. This section is Mac OS X specific. |
| 12-Jul-2007 | 208 | Completed the first pass at a deliverable application. It's still comprised of a Squeak VM and dedicated image file, and not enough of the development environment features are disabled yet, but it's a good start. |
| 12-Jul-2007 | 18 | Added another note to advise the reader if they are unable to find their test case in the Test Runner window. |
| 10-Jul-2007 | Introduction 15A |
There's some new text in the Introduction section explaining how the tutorial begins with more browser screen-shots and why I'm doing that. I've received a number of e-mails from programmers new to Smalltalk and/or Squeak that have made the mistake of creating their first test case class as a subclass of Object instead of TestCase. To help the reader not make that mistake I added a note to the page to ensure they did this step correctly. On that same page I also added more description and a visual for how the new method category is created. |
| 06-Jul-2007 | 205 - 207 | Wrote some preliminary code to support stand-alone application delivery. |
| 07-Jul-2007 | Notes |
Changed the Workspace description for launching LaserGame morph now that version 20 was released. Also changed the links for the packages to always point to a gerneric named package. The Mac OS X Unix scripts I'm using to backup and publish this tutorial now create these to avoid problems where I forget to update the file names for latest release packages. Changed layout of "Notes" within the tutorial to be separate sections for each category (Packages, History, Comments). |
| 06-Jul-2007 | 56 | Forgot to include the source for the #offsetWithinGridForm on the CellRenderer class. |
| 06-Jul-2007 | 15, 200 - 204 |
Corrections of typos and other errors, based upon user feedback. (NOTE: I'm placing comments in the HTML as possible to identify anyone who helps). Also reworked the minor enhancements into a group of pages and added another enhancement for default LaserGame morph size. |
| 06-Jul-2007 | index | Tweaked the colors of the Index page to tone it down a bit. |
| 05-Jul-2007 | 200 | Made some minor cosmetic tweaks. Added a larger margin around the edges for easier grabbing and moving. Added a tiny divider bar on the control panel. |

| 03-Jul-2007 | 197 | Fixed the alignment of the hint arrows within the mirror cells. |
