alice-teacher Putting together an interactive presentation

[Christy Horner]

With the end of the school year approaching, our school is putting on a
Presentation Night where parents and students are invited to view and
interact with our work in various classes (art, science, music). This is
our first year having an Alice class, and I want to put together an
interactive display that allows people to play the games the students have
written in class. The goal is not only to show off the students' work, but
to encourage younger students to sign up for next year's class.

We are using Alice 2, and I have tried exporting the programs to html and
then running it in a webpage. However, when I load the page, I always get
an InvocationTargetException, and I can't get it to print a stack trace. I
can successfully export to a movie, but that defeats the purpose of having
people play the games.

My final idea is to run the Alice development environment on a laptop and
have people run games through that. I think that would be more difficult
for the users, though. Does anyone have a better idea? How have you done
these kinds of presentations in the past?
