Source code

To get the source code, you should check the Roboquad squeaksource repository.

This project has been developed in Smalltalk, a dynamic object oriented programming language. If you’re new to Smalltalk we strongly recommend you to give it a try. One of the best ways to learn Smalltalk is to download one of the versions of Smalltalk (we recommend you to start either with Squeak or Pharo), install it, and grab a copy of one of the many free online Smalltalk books.

If you’re already familiar with Smalltalk we encourage you to take a look at the project’s source code and, if you feel like it, contribute some of your own code to the project. We would highly appreciate your contributions.

This project is being developed under the MIT license.
