alice-teacher Alice 3 Comparing colors of an object

[Don Slater]

The ability to compare colors is not implemented  in the version of Alice that is currently available to download.

In the meantime, try this:

1) Create a TextString variable property for the Disc class, name it "color", and set its initial value to "white".

2) There is a procedural method in the Scene class called "PerformCustomSetup". Edit this method and set the values of each of the color variables for each Disc to the appropriate color.

3) Youo can now write if statements to compare the variable TextString values.

4) If you are changing the colors of the disc, be sure to also change th`e text value of the variable appropriately.

Let us know if you have any other questions...

All the best,
Don Slater
