On one of the machines, ignored the install on DirectPlay, and Alice ran with no problems. We have been using the new versions of both Alice 2.x and 3.x and are not experiencing any other noticeable issues. I have had the students create new programs and also open previously created ones, all seems good so far. Most of the students did not even notice the update.There is mo noticeable difference. I can not pinpoint why it happened on only about half the computers as all PC's are identical. </span></div><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:small;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial"><span style="font-size:12.8px"><br></span></div><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:small;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial"><span style="font-size:12.8px">As for the Blue Box </span><span style="font-size:12.8px"> "Press Win + G to see the game console" that is a built-in (and safe) feature of Windows 10 for screen capture, primarily used for gaming, but can be used to screen capture anything. Best guess is that Windows 10 is identifying Alice 2.5.4 as a video game, probably because of the DirectPlay connection, and so it launches the screen capture to ask if you want to use it.

Most critically the new Alice 2 version resolves our High Sierra problem allowing Alice 2 to function properly on the news Mac OS. There are general performance and stability improvements for both version as well as some bug fixes that we think will make a lot of you and your students work a lot easier such as fixing the issue where shape objects were constantly reseting when you ran your program in Alice 3. Please keep telling us what you need and the problems you are finding so we can continue to make the systems better. Thank you all again for all of your support and patience.<br><br>Sincerely,<br><br>Eric<br><br>Eric Brown<br>Alice Project<br>Carnegie Mellon University<br><br>Alice 2:<br><br>Major Updates<br><br>-
