alice-teacher Lists on Alice 3.4

[Don Slater]

April,
A couple of suggestions: 

1) Have the astronaut move to one of the objects visible in the Scene, and then adjust it’s position when in view.  
 — (See the attached screen shot “MoveAndOrient"). While still in the Scene editor, select the astronaut from the object menu (1), click on the one-shots button (2), select the procedures menu  and then select the procedure “moveAndOrientTo” (3) to an object in the scene (4). 

2) Have the camera get a good look at the astronaut.
— (See the second screenshot “MoveCamera”). While still in the Scene editor, select the camera from the object menu, click on the one-shots button, select the procedures menu  and then select the procedure “moveAndOrientToAGoodVantagePointOf” (1) for the astronaut (2). 

Let us know if you have any other questions…

All the best,
Don Slater

>> 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.
