<div dir="ltr">Don -<div> Thank you for the information, but I am trying to do this in Alice 3.... The prior email with the parameter passing and functions was helpful, but if you had a sample program from Alice 3, that would be great!</div>

Alice 3 is Java-based, with a strong sense of scope for variables.<br>
<br>
It is possible to create a variable that belongs to the Scene class, that can be used by any other methods (functions and procedures) written on the Scene class. But If I am writing a method for the Penguin class, that method does not have access to the variable created in the Scene. That Scene variable must be passed as a parameter to the Penguin method that would like to use it, and a function of the Penguin class must return a value to for updating the Scene variable.<br>
<br>
Please let me know if you have any other questions.<br>
<br>
Later,<br>
