Chapter 11 further issues

Unsolved from #67

S6. Exercises vs. only code descriptions

  • not really a problem but it feels kind of inconsistent
  • some provided code snippets come with a request to define / update etc. them oneself (identified by a squeak cat head before them). (E.g. Method 11.4) Others come with an description and saying how things can be done. (E.g. Method 11.5). I suppose the ones without an exercise aren't really necessary to follow the tutorial? But as this chapter feels like a - try every example - tutorial this for me personally just appeared a bit inconsistent.

S10. Not using accessor methods

  • In Method 11.29 instance variables are set directly and not via accessor methods, which especially for faces: and dieValue: is weird, because we define those methods later on (and they do sensible sanity checks)

  • S6: I think that additional \dothiss would unnecessarily bloat the book. IMO it follows from the context that the remaining methods should be added as well.
  • S10: Please see #119.

@codeZeilen What is your opinion on the only last remaining item here, S6?
