Finish FA7; start Alice

You will be given the entire hour today to finish FA7 - it is due at the end of the period!  When you are done you will have 2 pages to print out and hand in.  Make sure you are following the directions on yesterday's blogpost - you need to have filename and path included in your documents.

Once you have completed FA7 you are going to start working with Alice.  This program shows you how you can manipulate objects in a program - something that computer programmers do while working on software with characters that move within the software program, or something that movie makers do while working on a movie project like Cars or Toy Story.

In order to learn how to use Alice you'll need to go to the following website to learn how the Alice interface is organized and what the 5 different areas on the interface are for.  To access this Alice tutorial click here.

Also, don't forget that your crossword puzzle is due tomorrow at the beginning of class!  If you have it completed you may hand it in now.

At this point I'd also like to remind you to check the board in the room for missing assignments.  If you are missing assignments it is your responsibility to come in and get them made up.  Remember, earning 50% on an assignment (what you get if you turn an assignment in late) is much better than getting a zero.  Let me know when you plan on coming in (before school, homeroom, REAL, lunch recess, or after school).
