Re: [Pharo-users] mentor question 1

1. 'loopback' is a node, just like 'source' and 'destination'. A network is a mesh of 'nodes' joined by 'links'. Your Pharo program represents one of those nodes: It is the 'loopback' node. 2. The block in the #linksTowards:do: method is the action to take on a packet, depending on whether its d

Re: [Pharo-users] mentor question 1

Hi Richard, I looked the repo; he's defined 3 classes: one for packets, one for nodes, and one for links. So yes, he instantiates links. Likely each node has a collection of links (each of which leads to another node in the network). The application is to simulate a network by modeling it in ST

Re: [Pharo-users] mentor question 1

Roelof, The core concept (as I see it) is that each node in your simulated network will receive packets as the simulation progresses, and the nodes must do something with each packet they receive. In OOP, it often helps to think about the objects in terms of "their responsibilities". And by that

Richard, I don't think it was silly. I'm sitting here thinking to myself, "Wow, that's creative... Pharo being Pharo, you can write applications that can send *blocks* between nodes, not just *data*..." The concept of sending behaviors as well as data opens up some interesting and powerful p
