Intro to Programming in Alice 3 (1 of 7): Adding Objects

ALICE

Alice is a software that lets you drag and drop objects to create an environment of your choice. This software was first developed at the University of Virginia, then at Carnegie Mellon. Alice was designed to teach programming theory without the complex languages. Users can place objects from Alice's gallery into the virtual world that they have imagined, and then they can program by dropping tiles that represent actions into the space on the right hand side. What i did with my Alice  project was, i made four people at their friends. At first they were just standing there having a conversation, and then towards the end they end up going for a swim in the pond. I put up castle walls around the area and a large gate to enter and exit through. I implemented plants and little huts for sleeping and decoration. Also i made a pot that the goblin was cooking out of have a spinning effect with the spoon. Overall i like this program, i think it is useful for students like us who are new to computer programming and coding.

My Weekend

This vacation i hung out with my friends and worked monday through friday. i worked for my father who owns an insulation company and lets me work whenever i dont have school. this week i worked 38 hours, which i was happy about because i needed the money. after work i would go out with my friends and play basketball at billings. i have to say i was probably the best three point shooter on the court. i drained about four in a row and then dropped a wet three to win the 3 on 3 game up to 15. Also my friends and I played kan jam where i also dominated. MY friend Kevin and I went 6-0 in Kan jam, we were unstoppable. overall i had a good vacation.
