alice-teacher question about contest

[Sandy Graham]

I have two students participating in the contest Don told us about and I
need to ask some Alice questions to help prevent frustrating problems.  When
we were working on recursion, we did discover that a laptop can only process
so many recursive calls at a time.  We took out a few recursive calls and
the problem was solved.  So with that in mind, do I need to tell the
students to worry about how many objects they put in their program or how
long it is or anything like that?  Does anyone know of anything I need to
warn the students of as they plan their projects?  Thank you!!!

 

Your sister in Christ,

 

Sandy Graham
