alice-teacher Error messages

[Thompson, Paul Dexter]

Laurie,

I am currently using Alice 2.3 with the "Learning to Program with Alice" labs and exercises and it works great. I am up to Chapter 4 and have not seen any discrepancies. The Duke University lessons should work just as well. I will say Alice 2.3 is very stable compared to Alice 2.2 release 3/1/2012.

Best,

Will the lessons from duke university and from the textbook, Learning to Program with Alice, match 2.3? We are having similar problems. We are using the most recent 2.2. We recently updated our computers to Windows 7 from Windows XP, and I am seeing error messages and rainbows of color or blackened screens that we didn't have last year on the same Alice. I am afraid to switch to 2.3 if the lessons won't match.

We believe that Alice 2.3 is much more stable than the version that you have
been working with… I suggest you download it to one of your machines to test
(You can even copy it on to a USB drive and try it from there first before
loading it on a machine.)

Let me know what you find out.

All the best,
Don Slater

August 2011.  We are having frequent error messages for no particular reason -
just moving things around, learning the very basics.  Before I update all of
them to the most recent Alice 2.2, I wanted to make sure that the recent
update's bugs are minimal.  Should I do the March 2.2 update or use the Alice
2.3?  I have not used Alice 2.3 and right now, cannot re-write my assignments
for the fall (headed out on maternity leave shortly.
