By next week, you should have read everything I've posted on our pages. This includes the new "how-to" page, and everything currently on the "squeaky intro to cs" page, and links that you get to from there.
This includes also the off-site links to projects that I've recommended you look at. (The three squeakfest2004 projects of Wallace). When you look at a project, open and read all of the scripts to see how they work.
This also includes looking through the projects I've posted on the Squeak Projects page.

Continue playing with squeak. Try some advanced techniques prompted by the Wallace tutorial on mutli-instances.
Try using the holder to do object animation (change how it looks by cycling through pictures.
Create and destroy objects under program control
Figure out how to use buttons. (Hint: the "button" that you get from the supplies bin confuses me. Seems it should have a way of naming which script it corresponds to, but it is no simpler than just dragging a random object and programming it so that when you click it a script that you want fires.
I wrote an "asteroids" game. Think about how you might program the typical asteroids, where when one gets hit, it breaks into smaller pieces. The smallest pieces just disappear when hit.
See if you can find "Lenny factor trees" somewhere online. If so, try it out.
Create your own stuff.
