alice-teacher question about contest

[Wendy Evans]

My suggestion is Keep It Simple. I have my students create zoos and in the 2.3 version they are having problems with it crashing on them if they have too much in the world. They go to save and the program closes. This is Strange; because I didn't have nearly as much problem with this in the 2.0 version. Anyone else having this problem?

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!!!
