alice-teacher term projects

[Ella Glazer]

I have been teaching a one semester Alice Intro to Programming course since
last year so this is my third semester.  I am putting below my final
project from last Spring.  I am still tweaking.  Hope this helps

Alice Final Project

You are creating a game.  This game should have a theme – a story line –
which should be outlined in the beginning.  There should be at least 5
methods (including a beginning and an end).  There should be at least 3
different scenes.  The random method should be used to move the character
along or to acquire props, etc.  Loops should be used – lives should be
calculated.  A game over screen should appear when the game is, indeed,
over.
