alice-teacher Problem with "Defending Naptime" Tutorial

[Don Slater]

I am encountering the same problem… Even though Next is grayed out, I was able to click on it, run the world (which raised and lowered the bunny's right arm, even though the code was not there - go figure - )…

Also, even if Next does not work for you, there are only two steps left, 68 has you run the world, and 69 displays the summary of what was learned. You can exit the tutorial (exiting takes you to the Alice world you have been working on), and add the right arm turn forward command ¼ turn into the code, and run the world yourself.

Thanks for letting us know…

Later,
Don Slater

I am guessing that this file has somehow become corrupt, but am not sure how to 'fix' it. Does anyone have any suggestions?
