alice-teacher Alice 3 Gallery

[Wanda Dann]

Don is absolutely right... no dice in the gallery.  After reading this 
thread, however, I began
to think about the possibility of making your own die using a couple of 
the shapes in the Gallery.

I did this once in Alice 2, but then we built a die for that gallery and 
I threw my "custom made"
in the trash.

Here is the idea:
1. Create a box  object but change its size to a small cube.
2. Position small discs (change size and make a black color) to be the 
dots on each side.
     Make the vehicle of each disc be the cube, so when the die is 
tossed (combination of turn and roll) the discs stick to the
    cube.
3. Write procedures to toss the die and determine which side is up.

This would take some time and patience... but I think it would work.  
Maybe one of your students would like this as
a project?

If you get it to work, perhaps you would be willing to save it out as a 
custom class and share it with
teachers on this list?

Best wishes,
Wanda
