alice-teacher Lists on Alice 3.4

[April Corbin]

One of my students is placing an astronaut in his program. Every time he does, he cannot see it. I know it is going to 0,0,0 but I am not sure where that is on his. How can I help him?

Mourad,
Dynamically creating objects during runtime in Alice is not possible. All objects that may be used in an Alice world have to be added to the object, and possibly hidden until needed, before the project executes.

To drag and drop an object in a project while it was running (see that attached screen shot), go to initializeEventListeners tab (1), click on Add Event Listener button (2), select Mouse from the menu (3), and select addDefaultModelManipulation listener.

This will allow you to click and drag any model in the scene. Holding down the Control key (Windows) (Option key - Mac) will turn the object. Hold the Shift key and drag an object to raise or lower an object.

Let us know if you have any other questions.

All the best,
Don Slater

Hi
I am just new in teaching alice 3.4. My previous experience was in Scratch where I could create up to 255 instances of the object of my choice (in code). Is there a way to do this in Alice 3?
One more question
How can I create an event to drag and drop an object (in code)

Kind Regards

Carlos,
Yes, although Alice 3 does not support Lists as Alice 2 does, it does support arrays. The attached set of Powerpoint slides should show how how to build an array structure in Alice and how to use the “for… each” and the “each … in together” data structures use for manipulating elements in the arrays.

It is not an exhaustive explanation of the topic, but it should serve as a good starting point for your student.

Please feel free to let me know if you have another questions…

All the best,
Don Slater
