Details on homework 2

I realize that the homework I assigned might be a bit overwhelming, but as you push through it, I am hoping you find it easier than you thought it would be. Here is a clearer step by step process: (I will add an assignment movie later to show you how to do this.)

Step 1: Storyteller writes the story on the moodle assignment team work area Discussion Forum (If you have trouble finding this forum email me for instructions.

Step 2: Storyteller creates a new Alice movie that has one of the characters. He creates two methods for that character. To do this:

• · Click add new object
• · Click on the object to Add the object to your world
• · Click on the object's name on the upper left
• · Click on the method tab
• · Click create new method
• · Type the name of the action and OK
• · See a new pane with your character.your action
• · Drag methods from the character to your action to make statements that tell the character do what you want.
• · To make your world do the action, click on myfirstmethod and drag the new action into myfirstmethod
• · Repeat to create a new method
• · Right click on your character and choose rename to give it a good name
• · Right click on your character and choose save

Step 3: Storyteller gives his character to the programmer. (I want you to go back to moodle and upload your character file. When you post to the discussion board, there is an option to browse and upload a file.

Step 4: Programmer reads the story and creates his character. Do the same thing as step 2.

Step 5: Programmer creates the two (or more) empty scenes:

• · Click on world
• · Click on create new method
• · Name it scene1 and click ok
• · Repeat for scene 2.

Step 5: Programmer imports the other character:

• · Go to the moodle discussion board and right click on the character file and choose "save target as"
• · Go back to your Alice world and choose file / import and click on that character file.
• · Your partner's character is now in your world.

Step 6: Programmer fills in the scenes:

• · Click on scene1
• · Click on the object you want to act and drag its method to make a statement. Keep doing this until the scene is complete.
• · Do the same for the other scenes.
• · Save the world

Step 7: Programmer uploads the world .a2w file to moodle and tells the storyteller to go test

Step 8: The storyteller tests.

• · Right click on the moodle discussion board's world and choose save target as
• · Open Alice and choose file / open and that saved world.
• · Hit play and see whether you like it.
• · If you do not, please either fix it or give it back to your partner to fix.

Step 9: Storyteller submits the program to moodle's assignment 2 - due Wed 9/09
