   What have you learned?
starters: Starters (Lesson: Start, Save, Reopen and modify your program)
   When you start a new project there is a Starters tab that lets you select from several complete scenes. For instance, the lagoon has seaweed, shells, treasure chests, stacks of coins, sand castles, caves and a pirate ship already arranged.
starting template: Select a starting template(Lesson: Your First program: Hello World)
   There are many templates: grass, sea floor, snow, room, mars, and more.
storyboard: Storyboards(Lesson: The Software-Lifecycle)
   A storyboard helps you design the entire movie: each scene shows the actors, positions, and scenery
substitutes: Substitutions for things you can't find(Lesson: Introduction to Alice 3)
   You won't find everything you want.
Swimmer Class: Swimmer Class (Lesson: Introduction to Alice 3)
   The Swimmer Class has two subclasses: Fish and Marine animals (dolphin, manatee, orca and walrus.)
taller: Who is taller? Finding larger of 2(Lesson: Boolean Expressions: true or false)
   Use the function getHeight to find the taller of two animals
tallest: Who's the tallest?(Lesson: Arrays: Working with lists of objects)
   People are in an array, a loop is used to find the tallest.
teenager: Teenager? Using AND: &&(Lesson: Boolean Expressions: true or false)
   You are a teenager if age >=13 AND age <= 19
template: Template (Lesson: Start, Save, Reopen and modify your program)
   When you start a new Alice project you can select from one of several templates such as grass, water, or Mars. You can easily change this in the scene setup window and there are more templates available.
text, shapes: Shapes/Text (Lesson: Advanced Techniques: The finishing touches)
   In the scene editor there is a tab in the Gallery labeled Shapes/Text. Here you will find shapes such as disc, cone, cylinder, sphere, torus, and box. You will also find the billboard and the textModel. These objects do not have any subparts, but they can be moved and rotated and used in a variety of ways. For instance, the billboard can display images, the textModel can be used as scoreboard in a game, and the sphere can be colored red to create an apple.
timer-event: A Timer Event(Lesson: Events: Responding to the Mouse and Keyboard)
   Using the timer event, the penguin says "Help!" at random intervals.
tip: Finding a Tip(Lesson: A Little Math)
   The Mad Hatter calculates 15% tip.
top-down: Scene Procedure for Top-Down Design(Lesson: Scene Procedures in Alice3)
   A Scene Procedure is code that is separate from myFirstMethod
total: Total (Lesson: A Little Math)
   A variable (called an accumulator) can be used to find the total of several items.
total-loop: Loop to add numbers(Lesson: Calculations and Functions)
   A loop to add numbers uses a running total: total=total + number
total-loop2: Loop to add numbers and find smallest and largest(Lesson: Calculations and Functions)
   The first value is the smallest and largest so far.
total 3 items: Cost of 3 different items(Lesson: A Little Math)
   Finds the total of 3 different values: total=total+cost
tour: A Brief Tour of Alice(Lesson: Introduction to Alice 3)
   Video Overview of the components in Alice
transitions, scene: Adding transitions to scene changes(Lesson: Advanced Techniques: The finishing touches)
   Transitions are created by fading a billboard in and out.
Transport Class: Transport Class (Lesson: Introduction to Alice 3)
   The Transport Class has four subclasses: Aircraft, Automobile, Train, and Watercraft
turn-head: Troll turns head(Lesson: Posing Objects in Alice3)
   Use a variable for the amount to turn head, use it to turn to left and right.
type-drill: Drill on type(Lesson: Variables in Alice3)
   See if you can select the correct type.
variable-greeting: Variables for ease of modification(Lesson: Variables in Alice3)
   Use variables to make changes easier
variable-scope: Variable Scope(Lesson: Variables in Alice3)
   Scope is where a variable is available
variable scope: Scope of variables(Lesson: Creating Animation in Alice3)
   It's important where you declare variables.
variables: Variables(Lesson: Variables in Alice3)
   What is a variable?
vehicle: Vehicle (Lesson: Setting up the Alice Virtual World)
   A vehicle is not the same as an instance of the Transport class. In Alice, a vehicle is an object that is assigned to another object so that they move together. For instance, we can make the Pixies hand the vehicle for the magic wand, then when the pixie moves her hand the wand moves with it. You can also make the UFO the vehicle for the camera. As the UFO soars around the mesa, the camera moves with it.
vehicle, camera: A UFO as the vehicle for the camera(Lesson: Advanced Techniques: The finishing touches)
   Video show how to assign a vehicle to the camera.
vehicle example penguin egg: Using Vehicles: A penguin and Egg(Lesson: Setting up the Alice Virtual World)
   Position the egg on penguins feet, then make the penguin the vehicle for the egg
vehicle monkey banana: Using Vehicles: Monkey holding Banana(Lesson: Setting up the Alice Virtual World)
   The monkeys thumb is made the vehicle for the banana
vertical: Moving vertically(Lesson: Setting up the Alice Virtual World)
   Use the handles to turn, roll, and move any of the objects in your project.
walking-procedure: Anyone can walk(Lesson: Class Procedures in Alice3: Reusable Code)
   A procedure for a biped to walk can be used for any biped.
walking algorithm: A Walking algorithm(Lesson: Creating Animation in Alice3)
   Get into position, take three steps, return to starting position.
while loop: While Loop (Lesson: Creating Animation in Alice3)
   A while block is a control structure that loops (repeats) while a condition if true. The statement while(count<5) will cause the block to execute until count is 5 or more. The statement while(True) will create an endless or infinite loop.
while loop, toddler counting: Counting with a while loop(Lesson: Creating Animation in Alice3)
   A toddler says 1, 2, 3 using a while loop
witch: Witch casts spell(Lesson: Class Procedures in Alice3: Reusable Code)
   Parameters let us cast the spell on anything to change it to anything else.
witch-age: The Witch is Older(Lesson: A Little Math)
   What ever age you say you are, the witch says she's older.
x: x (Lesson: Setting up the Alice Virtual World)
   For the x position, 0 is in the middle, positive values are to the right, negative values are to the left.
xyz: x, y, and z (Lesson: Setting up the Alice Virtual World)
   In a 3D world, each object has a position given as values for x, y, and z.
y: y (Lesson: Setting up the Alice Virtual World)
   For the y position, 0 has the pivot point on the ground, positive values are up in the air, negative values are buried in the ground
z: z (Lesson: Setting up the Alice Virtual World)
   For the z position, 0 is in the middle, positive values are in the back, negative values are closer to the camera.
