alice-teacher Can Alice be used to Create Mobile Applicatio​ns?

[anita wright]

Hi Doug,

Interesting post, I've been thinking about this recently myself...

Since you can port Alice 3 code into the NetBeans environment and have it
build Java code, it seems as though you should be able to (at least) take
advantage of some  Java "auto code generation" for building Android apps by
building a game/whatever in Alice3.  Of course any user events interactivity
would have to be coded to interact with the Android interface.

Alice 3 -> iPhone app no way I can think of...

Keep us posted :)
