10 pts

Today's classwork goes along with Chapter 2, section 1.

The following work needs to be done with your partner and turned in with both names on it.

  1. Write a storyboard for the following scenario. It is a game of musical chairs with four players (persons or animals) and a fifth person (or animal) running the game. The fifth person must yell out commands to tell the players to go and to stop. There is always one chair less than the number of players. When the stop command is issued, players must head to the closest chair and sit down if no one is not sitting there. The player that does not get a chair is out and must stand off to the side. The winner is the player that gets the chair when there are just two players left.

    You do not know how to do all these things in Alice yet, but you want to give a good description of the actions including several storyboards. See the storyboard template on page 23.

  2. Write a storyboard for the snow people problem, (problem 3) on pages 47-48. Do not write Alice code, only a storyboard on paper.

  3. Camera Control

    Load the Alice world you created last time with the Snowman and SnowWoman facing each other (from the Appendix A) Save it as snowmanCamera.a2w. (this is so you don't destroy your work from last time).

    Follow the camera control handout to dump in three Dummy objects to save the camera views so you can easily move to them.
