The Agency: We're still working!

This blog has been too quiet for too long, and it has been a while since our last release, but rest assured that we are still working very hard to ready StarLogo TNG for a beta release.

Eric sent this message to the StarLogo user community today:
StarLogo TNG is still under very active development. After the last preview release (3) we decided that there were several components that needed some significant work. We are now on the verge (a few weeks) of our first real "beta" release. This release will include a new blocks interface rewritten from the ground up for speed, stability and extensibility. It will also include a much more user friendly and easier to navigate 3D spaceland, new commands and capabilities (sound, lists, and "smell", etc.), and lots of bug fixes (including the comma fix). We're still working out the final touches on the new blocks, but everything else is done. We hope to have this released soon (followed by summer 2007 for release 1.0 - only a year late, not so bad in the software business :-)
Thank you for your patience so far, and we can't wait for you to see what's next!

Any movement in the tutorials area? I've been trying to reproduce the paintball tutorial and I've had no luck. Has the new version been tested against the tutorials offered?

Hi UASD Computer Class, sorry to hear the tutorials are causing trouble for you. We just verified that the resulting paintball project still works with the latest version, and we didn't notice any missing steps in the tutorial, though there very well might be.

If you e-mail us at bug-starlogo@education.mit.edu and attach what you have so far, we can try to help you find any problems there might be.
