I need a required folder to run Alice - what is this?

I downloaded Alice off the internet and I cannot use it. Whenever I try to open it, it comes up with: "The Alice program expects a folder called 'Required' to be next to it when Alice runs. Alice did not see that folder, and can not run." I am using the program WinZip to open Alice, as it is a zipped file... HELP!!I need a required folder to run Alice - what is this?
extract it by clicking the right button on the mouse and click "extract all"

then you can use that ALICE or whatever it is...........

Can someon help me with the 'Alice' program?

I would like to make a animation in alice (the program from carnagie mellon) but my english teacher doesnt have the software. Is there a way that I could, like save it as a video (as opposed to a .a2w) and copy it a disk/flash drive?Can someon help me with the 'Alice' program?
At this moment there isn't a way to save it as a movie file. You can however do one of two things. you can:

1: save it as a webpage applet (File %26gt; Export as a Web Page)

2: use an external video capture program.



Be sure to check my sources for more information.

"Programming with Alice"?

I really need help with this Thing.

It's an assigment called Gallop and Jump, and I dont know How to get the girl to sit on the horse and for the horse to move and Jump.

I'm trying to teach myself prgramming But I cant figure this on out.

DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY IDEA HOW TO DO THIS?

(IF YOU HAVE THE BOOK IT'S ON PAGE 110



Thanks"Programming with Alice"?
In case you are unaware of it, you may get more responses by posting your questions on the Alice Community Forum at http://www.alice.org/community/



You will also find free online Alice programming tutorials at http://www.dickbaldwin.com/tocalice.htm"Programming with Alice"?
I don't have the book at home. But try the "as seen by", people always forget that option.



You have to click the horse and then the properties you want drag over. First try to get the horse to move, then the girl to move up onto horse.



Its hard to say without being there. Keep playing around. Also, look on the CD that came with the book, lots of answers are there.

I need some good tutorials or references for the programming language "Alice" by Carnegie Mellon.?

How do you prevent objects from colliding on Alice?

In Alice, the program, I am creating a maze game.The person must make it through the maze without touching the sides within a certain time period.

The challenging part is how to inform Alice that the character is within a certain distance from the maze. [Within Threshold] works for smaller objects, but not for larger objects with greater length.

The maze does not have walls, but is just one large entity.

How do I prevent the character I am using from touching the walls of the maze?How do you prevent objects from colliding on Alice?
sorry I haven't used Alice since freshman year in college. But I remember our saying for said class: Alice is a dirty dirty girl. I feel your pain.



It may be that the [within threshold] function you are talking about is distance to the middle of the object rather than to its circumference. if this is the case, try making the walls shorter and stack them next to each other.



Or you can try putting an invisible object at each end of the wall and write the program so the character cannot go between the object.



Alice was a good way to visualize object oriented programming, but when I used it years ago it was horrible at complex functionality. I had to write a game for my intro to computer engineering class. I broke Alice a couple of times writing it. I think i have it laying around. Its a RPG. Ill post it if I can find it.



good luck

    IN ALICE GAME PROGRAMMING THING?

    sorry i know alice sucks but in my computer science class i need to know how to use it. im trying to make a game, i added a 3D text that says start, i made it so that when u click start the text goes below the ground and you zoom in on your character. i made it so if you click up, down left or right thast the way your character moves, i also made it so if you click w u move like more backwards away from the screen, s moves forward like towards the screen, and other keys to move the camera. anyway is there a way so i cant move the character before i hit start aka the 3d text. im really only working in the events, not the methods box.IN ALICE GAME PROGRAMMING THING?
    Alice is a free educational tool designed for novice programmers with little or no experience that enables them to create games. Unlike most platforms, Alice allows you to "drag and drop" objects into a three-dimensional world, instead of typing out lines of code. If you have minimal knowledge of computer programming but are interested in learning how to create games, Alice is a good tool.



    Difficulty: Moderate

    Instructions



    1

    Launch Alice to start a new project.



    2

    Click the "Templates" tab to select a setting or background for your game. Choose one of the available templates, such as "Grass" or "Water."



    3

    Select "Add Object" at the bottom of the Alice screen to begin adding characters and other objects to your game. Choose a character from the "People" folder and select "Add instance to World." This will place your character into the game.



    4

    Select "Method Editor." A list of available methods to enable movement for your character will be displayed.



    5

    Choose "Do in order" to allow multiple methods. Drag and drop "Move" into your "Method Editor" to enable movement of your character. Drag and drop any other commands you want your character to do.



    6

    Press "Play" to test your game. In a normal programming setting, this would be called "compiling" your program to test it for errors.

    Scratch or Alice- 3D Programming?

    Okay. I am 13 years old, and I worked with Alice today. It was really cool! Is its use to make video games? And also, I heard Scratch is also good. Have you worked with either? And I heard Sims used Alice. True/False? Any opinions would be great! :)Scratch or Alice- 3D Programming?
    I've never heard of the software. I'm specialized in 3D Character Modeling. And, I've been using Autodesk Maya and Autodesk 3D Studio Max for quite some time now. Also, Bryce is a nice software for 3D modeling, rendering and animation program specializing in fractal landscapes. You know, creating video game is a huge factor. You'd first need to learn programming and about codes, C Language and such. But, if you're just interested in 3D models, objects and animation. Then I'd highly recommend Maya. I'm afraid it's quite expensive though. The prices are around 2000$ - 7000$.

    Alice Programming (arrays)?

    Why is an array said to be an "ordered" collection of elements?Alice Programming (arrays)?
    Arrays are ordered because they store the order that items are placed in them. While the items may not be sorted alphanumerically or just plain numerically, the items exist in an array at a fixed index. As a programmer, one could chose to load something different into an array at a particular index, but you could re-address it at the same spot.Alice Programming (arrays)?

    Alice Programming Question?

    the purpose of an argument is to pass information to the method so i can use this information in whatever calculations the method is doing.



    "acting as a placeholder" means that you have gotten to a point in coding where its necessary or helpful to create something, but you aren't yet ready to create the actual code you need so you create something simple with the intend to come back to it in the future to create the final version that you actually need.

    We used Alice in our high school APCS class this year. I didn't really like it that much. It seemed to me that it's sole purpose was to attract people to CS who would otherwise not have an interest in it. The environment didn't feel like real Java style object-oriented programming either. It was just selecting a series of pre-made functions for the pre-made characters to execute. However, I will admit that it was pretty fun; I just don't see it having any practical value in real programming (maybe I'm wrong, we didn't really do an in-depth study of it).

    Need Some Computer Programming Help: Anyone who is familiar with the Alice program?

    I'm a freshman, and my computer programming teacher can't teach at all. There is this bumper car simulation assignment that must be worked on in pairs, my teacher chose my partner and I'm stuck with a stubborn kid, who just sits back. The bumper car simulation consists of an arena, two bumper cars and a switch with a green and red button. What is supposed to happen is that when the green button is pressed the cars move freely, they move until they reach the edge of the arena or run into each other, at that point they then are supposed to turn, this continues until the red button is pressed. The red and green button aren't my problem, I'm having trouble with the whole set up (by the way these are some methods I must use, (world.runCar), (world.moveCar), (world.IsInBounds,) (world.IsTooClose) (world.carStart) (world.carStop) the problem is that i don't know what to use; for loop statement, while statement, if statement and I don't know what order I'm supposed to be using it. if there was someone who has experience using the Alice program and can make a simulation that can have two bumper cars, an arena, and can make them move and turn away when they are near hitting each other, it would help a lot.Need Some Computer Programming Help: Anyone who is familiar with the Alice program?

    I need help with the programming tool Alice?

    I'm making a game program in Alice where objects are constantly moving towards another object. For example a car is constantly chasing another car. What i need help with is how to pause the game. Like when i press a certain button, "p" for example, everything stops. Like all objects stop moving. Please help me. If you could build this for me that would be great, a visual would be nice too.I need help with the programming tool Alice?
    In Alice, you could create a new variable (we'll use "pause"). Make a new event for the key press "p". Remember the events are in the top right corner. Make it so when you press p on the keyboard, it changes pause to 1, if it is 0, or change to 0, if it is 1. That way you have a nice variable that toggles between 0 and 1 when you press "p". Now go to your code and write something to the effect of:



    if pause = 0 then

    (objects move towards each other)

    else

    (Do nothing, objects dont move or do anything, simulating the effect of a paused game.)

    end if



    There is also a pause button at the top of the Alice window when your program is running.

    Alice "is" an object oriented programming language. Regular OOP languages like Java, C++ %26amp; C# have their own place in software development, but where Alice shines is in its ability to introduce students to OOP via drag-and-drop.

    There have been several attempts to use a metaphor to get non-programmers to think in lines of commands. LOGO, Turtle are very, very elementary. After you draw and repeat a Spirograph artwork, that's the end of the capabilities. Graduates of such a course have no idea this effort was computer programming.



    Alice was developed by Carnegie Mellon University as a teaching tool. If you ask for help about Alice from programmers, 99% have no idea how to help unless they quickly learn Alice. Same thing with JCreator and the others. Code is code. You learn to think in code. Java started out as a language, not a sandbox with Objects on a work area.

    Yes, you need to create a sequence (series of actions) that repeat by the use of a loop (or loops).

But if you need more information you may be able to find more tutorials or help files on the same website.
