Our first Alice 3 screencast

Dennis, our head programmer and designer of Alice 3, lends his sultry tenor to a 5 minute video demonstrating how to create a simple world in Alice and import it into NetBeans.  We hope to have many more of these videos over the next several months as we continue to add new features and make improvements to the system.

You can also download this video in Quicktime format for offline viewing:

    I’m attending the beta testers workshop in January. Will the Alice – NetBean integration be discussed during the workshop?

    Eugene, yes, Alice and NetBeans integration should be a key topic of discussion at the workshop.

    I’m very interested about Alice 3.
    Can you please tell me when it will be available and if it will be available for everyone for free?

    mister, Alice 3 will be available to the public in the fall of 2009. We are wrapping up alpha testing now and readying the system for beta. And yes, it will be free.

    I think moving should have a easing into and out of. The animation should look better, you could possible have it as an option of having a strait line, a log curve or a x³.

    Also have you considered having the programming code in jython or jruby or something like that?

    Hello Dennis,

    Will there be a way for teams of students to work on one animation? Can they merge their worlds, or import 2 scenes together, copy modules…? Thank you, Jill

    Nah, I Get It, It Seems That Teaching Programming Will Be Lot Funnier Then.

    Jill-

    Supporting teams of students working on the same world is definitely on the todo list. Sadly, sophisticated merging will likely not make it into this summer’s release… but trust me the importance of this capability is not lost on me.
