Alice

We are now going to learn how to create worlds and learn to program using 3D grapics using software called Alice.

Your first task is to open tutorial 1: Ice Skater world
Follow the instructions to find out how to use the software...what can you get your ice skater to do?

Scratch

Task 1
Using the scratch cards create an example of each and save it in your programming folder on the H drive

Task 2
In the folder Advenced Scratch, see if you can create the Helicopter game.
Extension:
a) See if you can get your helicopter to return to the start if it hits the walls.
b) Can you add a score to your game (you could loose a point if you hit the wall)
c) Can you now add another level to your game....hint you will need an "If" statement which +1 to the background layer

Task 3
Create your own version of Pong - you will find useful hints and tips in the Pong folder.
