The Alice is a 3D interactive animation environment for teaching fundamental programming concepts. It uses 3D graphics to engage kids to learn the basics of programming.
Activity: How Tall Are You? Introducing Decisions and the use of Functions
This activity shows you how to program the Alice rendered 3D/java interface to make decisions and animate 3D characters by programmatically asking true/false questions. If the answer is true, you can make the 3D animation do one thing, if the answer is false, you make a different 3D movement. You will learn how to program decisions using IF/ELSE statements and use functions for determining height and distance between 3D objects. Great starter for starting to learn game programming!
