Project 4: Alice program

Alice is free software that teaches students computer programming in a 3D environment.

Computer Skills: Download and install software.

Computer Knowledge: Understand a few of the basics of computer programming.

In Alice, 3-D objects (e.g., people, animals, and vehicles) populate a virtual world and students create a program to animate the objects.

• Module 1: Download and install the software.
• Module 2: Your First Alice Program.
• Create an Alice3 world to represent you. You can choose a Starting scene by clicking the Starters tab in the Select Project window, or create a background scene using objects from the Props classes.
• Next, add one person to represent you (your avatar) using the Sims people (the first 5 people in the Biped class.)
  You can also add other people and animals to create a scene that represents you in some way.
• Use code to have your avatar say a welcome message.
• Save the Alice3 program as LastName_FirstName_alice.a3p. For example Smith_Mary_alice.a3p to submit.
• Submit the a3p file in Blackboard.

  Example:

  
  This is me and my husband in my garden.
  My garden isn't that big or that lush.
  We both wear glasses but there aren't any in Alice.

  Here is the code:
