Dear Pharo users,
I develop software dedicated to the simulation of plant development and
3D architecture.
In the past, I used Java, but I am very interested in translating code
in Pharo. I appreciated very much the language and the course.
I have a question for you all :
During plant development (ontogeny), new organs appear, that are
gradually tranformed. For example, a bud can make a flower, and then a
fruit.
Organs are conveniently modelled as classes. During the course, I
learned that it was better to make several classes (bud, flower, fruit)
instead of a "fat class" such as "reproductive organ" with many
attributes and stages (bud stage, flower stage, fruit stage). I wonder
how to transform an object into another one, to represent for example
the fact that the flower may become a fruit.
Maybe a naive question ?
Thanks for your lights !
Loïc
