alice-teacher Alice Unity Player Error

[Vanderhyde, James]

I have seen MAX_VALUE show up in student projects. It’s easy to get. In the Custom WholeNumber dialog, just keep typing 9’s and it gets converted to MAX_VALUE.

Bill,

The exported file uses WholeNumber.MAX_VALUE instead of a more ordinary value.
This is in a count loop at the beginning of the planeStartUp method.

I am curious how they produced this value. If you find out, please let me know.

As the code is written a while (true) might be a reasonable replacement to keep the propeller spinning.

I have a student who is getting the following error when he exports his project and tries to load it into the Standalone Alice Unity Player: "Unable to read this world Unable to read src/Scene.twe"

Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be?

Thanks,
Bill
