In this session, Andy will demonstrate how to:
- Use Dolphin Professional tools such as the System Browser and IdeaSpace.
- Create a composite Shell presenter out of existing MVP components.
- Use the View Composer to create a composite view and connect it to the presenter.
- Make Layout Managers do the work of arranging views in a window.
- Build a menu bar with the Menu Composer.
- Define ListView columns.
- Perform simple code refactorings in the Dolphin browsers.
This is Part 3 and the next video in the series is here.
If you wish to peek ahead, the final Smalltalk code for the game is available in a Dolphin source package for you to load into a Community Edition or Professional image. The code supplied below is a slightly refined version of the game shown in video programme 4; the logic is the same but the appearence has been somewhat spiced up.
