alice-teacher can you combine 2 different worlds into one?

[Deane Fistick]

There is a tutorial on the Duke website  http://www.cs.duke.edu/csed/alice09/tutorials.php called "Scene Change". Basically you set your scenes spread apart in your world and set a dummy camera view to each scene. When moving the camera point of view from one scene to the next, you fade out in the world, move to the next scene and fade back in (having changed characters, etc. while faded out). There is an OBJECT file named "ground2.a2c" which you can IMPORT into your world that allows you to change the ground "skin texture" property (the 6 standard ground choices) AS THE PROGRAM RUNS.

I've attached the "ground2.a2c" object file.

Hope that helps.

I have a student that wants to have a shipwreck(water world) and have the survivors transported to a desert (dirt world)?

Prem,



The definition I use for a variable is:

            A storage area used in a computer program that contains a value.



I have attached my lecture notes that I use when I introduce variables in Alice.  I use the Dann, Cooper, Pausch textbook but I introduce variables earlier than is shown in that book.  I start using variables in Chapter 3 with functions and add it as a 5th piece of program code.
