Final exam! Due December 13th before 10 pm

For your last assignment, you are going to get creative with ALICE!

First think of a theme and write it on your blog.

At startup of your world, you need a METHOD that begins when your world starts. (20 points). Next you will have another METHOD that runs (20 points) and finally the two will run concurrently (10 points).

You are going to have two EVENTS via keys on the computer which influence behavior in your world (20 points). Next you will have two EVENTS via the mouse clicks which influence behavior in your world (20 points). Write all four EVENTS on your blog.

Lastly you will write the psuedocode on your blog that would be necessary to achieve this effect if one was to code this outside of ALICE. (10 points)

(If you can't think of a unique theme, consider chapter 6, Fly Space Collision which is under the example worlds in the textbook. )

Blogging assignment!

First you are going to find an article from today's slashdot.org and summarize it on your blog.

Continuing with the Zeus example...

Today you will create two different EVENTS to go along with your Zeus example.
These EVENTS will utilize METHODS.

When you type "P" on the keyboard, Plato needs to respond with a dance.
When you click on Plato he needs to stand up and think something "deep".

When you type "S" on the keyboard, Socrates needs to respond with a dance.
When you click on Socrates he needs to stand up and think something "deep".

When you type "Z" on the keyboard, Zeus needs to respond with a stormy sky and thunderbolts.

There also needs to be an opening montage!

Today's assignment!

First you are going to open a "New World" and click on Textbook and Ch04BeatleBand. You are going to make the "Beatles" put on a show!!!!

Next you are going to open Chapter 5-6 Zeus and make an accurate Greek story!
