alice-teacher Putting together an interactive presentation

[James Vanderhyde]

I think it’s easiest just to install Alice on the computer. You can put a card next to the computer that says “Hit the restart button to play” or something to that effect.

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?
