During this 8 week project, I want to learn and have a firm understanding of programming theory. To accomplish this goal, I’m using Alice. Alice is an object-oriented programming language with an IDE (Integrated Development Environment) that was created by professors at Carnegie-Mellon. It is the first 3D game software and helps people understand Java better. In fact is proven to raise students (in college) with no programming experience’s grade from a C to B. The whole purpose that Alice was created was for teaching programming. Some people may think that Alice is intrinsic. The truth is within Alice users can create methods, loops, parameters, variables, conditions, and events by dragging and clicking.
I will be creating a few animation shorts and a couple mini-games. Alice can be used to program social interactions between characters so I plan to convey that through animations. I can create mini-games using the functions within Alice. I will also try to create a FPS view of a person walking through a city. It will be very complex. By next week I want to have created half of the city and start on my animation.
