Tutorial for Building a Simple Croquet World, Part 1: Setting Up a Croquet World


I am working on putting together a tutorial on how to build your own Croquet world. The entire tutorial will consist of 1.) setting up a Croquet world 2.) customizing a Croquet world and 3.) connecting to other Croquet worlds.

I have finished the first installment of the tutorial series, which will instruct you on how to set up your own Croquet world. Because of the volume of the tutorial, it made sense to make it available as a PDF.

You can download the PDF here.

As always, your feedback and suggestions for improvement are welcome and encouraged.

  3. This is fantastic Matt! It's great to see a croquet space built from the ground up. I'll be sifting through it this wk and I'll keep you posted on my progress. Thanks again.

  4. Thank you for the tutorial, I found it very helpful.

    One suggestion: I needed to also edit the setup method in MySimpleDemoMaster to make the island a MySimpleDemoWorld instead of SimpleDemoWorld.

    I changed this line from

    island := harness createIsland: SimpleDemoWorld named: myName.

    to

    island := harness createIsland: MySimpleDemoWorld named: myName.
