I am experiencing the same "While the world is running event" problem reported in Vol 42 Issue 19.  I am running Alice 2.4.1 on Mac OS X 10.7.5

Any suggestions on a course book for Alice 3.0 to use with my class?

It seems the Alice 2.4 While the World is Running event is not working properly.  It doesn't "start up" when the world is opened, and will only run if a key (any key) on the keyboard in held down.  It stops running when that key is released.  I opened my Alice 2.3 to run the world with the event, and it runs fine.

I tried a few other events, and they all run as expected.  The only one I've noticed so far that doesn't work is While the World is Running.

Running on Windows 7.

I have reported the bug to Alice through the link provided on the website.

I'm curious if anyone IS able to get this event running on Alice 2.4, Windows 7 installation?

Thank you.

You might look at the following link for information on the only text using Alice 3 that I am aware of. Note that the sty;e and purpose of the book is to teach Java, and so there will be a lot of back and forth between Alice 3 examples and Java.

This book was written by Tebring Daly and Eilleen Wrigley, community college instructors who partnered with us on a grant.

See the following link for information and other resources developed as part of the grant. Note that these pages are still under development, but hopefully you will find the material there useful?

All the best,

Don Slater
