alice-teacher possible glitch in Alice 2.2 with magician

[aik min]

Sandy,

The problem is not with the code but with the magician. To simply put it, it is a matrix multiplication error that happened when you try to manipulate the object on a very small scale. Due to this error, certain points on the object is placed wrongly, and when reconstructing the model, it is not what it looks like before you moved it. As far as we know, this only happens to the magician and the rabbit model.

Anyways, if you get this error, please do not ignore and continue. Press undo until the model returns to its original look and try moving it again. 


Thanks,

Aik Min Choong

One of my students is fairly artistic and was positioning the magician just so for exercise 7 in chapter 4 and discovered that the magician’s arm disappears when repositioning.  We played with it and programming does not cause problems, just manipulating the object in the scene set up.  Is this an error?
