alice-teacher Scene change in Alice 3.1.92 (reed-m)

[robert durtschi]

"I was wondering if there could be a way to totally change the background, like from grass to snow or inside to outside. "

That triggered a memory.  A couple of years ago I found that someone had created a "superGround.a2c" that allowed a change to the ground texture on the fly.  As you can tell from the a2c extension it is for Alice 2. I tested it at that time and again just now with Alice 2.4.2.  I would think that someone with more knowledge of Alice 3 than I could create something similar.

I'll attach the a2c file and the test file for those who still use Alice 2 and for anyone who wants to examine it to see if the same can be done for Alice 3. My mail server is super aggressive, so they may not come through or perhaps attachments aren't included in the digest form.

I just realized as I ran the test world that I forgot to change the atmosphereColor to black for the moon texture. I'll update the .a2w

Another thought: there is a OceanFloor class in the Ocean gallery (at least for Alice 2) that can be used if you want to do an underwater scene.
