alice-teacher Alice 2.x: How to put camera to the top of the world

[Donald Slater]

Matjaz,
Alice 2 does not provide the functionality that allows you to set the coordinates as you would wish.

To accomplish the same task in Alice 2, I would use one-shots to 
	- move the camera to the ground
	- move the camera up 150 meters (The Alice 2 world is not as big as Alice 3)
	- turn the camera forward ¼ revolution
	
I have attached a screen shot of a positionCamera method that illustrates how I might do this in code…

All the best,
Don Slater
