alice-teacher s Digest, Vol 25, Issue 10

[Don Slater]

I believe that the book may be worth checking out, but everyone should be aware that this book seems to be based on the AliceBeta 3.0 version, which is significantly different from Alice 3.1 which was released yesterday. There is a major difference between the models in Alice Gallery in 3.0 and 3.1, both in content and structure.

I also have to point out that the author has not had any contact with the Alice Project.Not that she had to, but we were never able to inform her of the changes in the software.

I will soon be publishing a document detailing the differences between Alice 2.2and Alice 3.1, and it will also contain notes on the difference between the 3.0 and 3.1.

Let me know if you have any questions.

All the best,
Don Slater

This book is designed primarily for teachers developing education plans and willing to exploit 3D environments using Alice 3. Alice users who want to improve their Alice programming skills will also find this book useful as it offers innovative 3D models in action. Some basic knowledge of Alice and how it works is necessary, although you are not expected to have worked with version 3 before.},
