Computer Programming with Alice I

Note: An open walk-in help session for pre-lab will be held on October 9 (Monday) from 3:00-5:00pm in Manchester 241.
  • install Alice:
    • right-click (not left-click) here to save the Alice.zip file in C:\userdata\HTML\csc101, and then unzip the file by right-clicking on the zip file and choose WinZip > Extract to here
  • go through Tutorial 1 in Alice
  • go through Tutorial 4 in Alice
  • File #1: save it as lab6-do-in-order.a2w
    create a new world (one of the following choices):
    1. Ice-skating (see an example screenshot):
      • an ice-skater (in People)
      • a lake (in Environment)
      • a frozen lake (in Environment)
    2. Football (see an example screenshot):
      • a guy (RandomGuy2 in People)
      • a stadium (in City)
      • a football goal (in Sprots)
  • File #2: save it as lab6-kick-ball.a2w
    create another new world containing the following objects (see example screenshots: Alice-Cheshire Cat-tree, RandomGuy2-football goal-football, RandomGuy2-hockey goal-toyball):
    • a person: for examples, in People: an ice-skater, Alice, Cinderella, RandomGuy; in Fantasy: LichenZenspider
    • a goal: for examples, a football or hockey goal (in Sports), a tree (in Nature), or any object that symbolize a goal
    • an object to be kicked in this animation: for examples, a toyball (in Sports), football (download a football and save it in your Alice > Required > gallery > sports folder), Cheshire Cat (in Animals), a cellphone (in Objects), an anvil (in Objects), a teddybear (in Objects)

      NOTE: There are more 3d models you can download to your gallery folder to use in Alice: http://www.alice.org/gallery/index.html

Computer Programming with Alice II
  • Go through Tutorial 3 (pages 1 - 38) in Alice, particularly note:
    • how to create keyboard events (pages 17-20)
    • how to create mouse events (pages 25-38)
       
  • Print out the code of your lab6-kick-ball.a2w file, and bring the code printout to lab. You do not need to turn in the printout but a hard copy of the code will help you finish the lab in less time. To print the code:
    • File > Export Code for Printing...
    • Click the "Select All" button
    • The code will be saved as an html file. Note where you save this html file.
    • After export, open the exported html file, and print it.
         
  • Videos of examples of completed and in progress files (you can watch them during the lab as references)

Digital Video Editing -- Adobe Premiere Pro

  1. Pre-lab reading and exercise: the pre-lab questions are on the last page on this pdf file. Due at the beginning of the lab.
    (The text in gray color in this pre-lab reading is optional reading. But the black text is required reading.)
     
  2. Install Adobe Premiere Pro: click here to see the instructions.
     
  3. Download at least three of the videos before lab: click here for a list of videos to use for the lab
    (Tips: Wired network will be much faster.
    You are welcome to watch all of these videos before choosing three or more to use in lab. But do so before coming to lab.)

Open Adobe Premiere Pro after you have installed it. If you have problem opening it, note down the error message and contact Dr. Wong by Monday afternoon.

Note: It is important to have installed Premiere Pro and downloaded the video files BEFORE coming to lab!
If you wait until coming to lab to install Premiere Pro and download the video files, you will most likely be spending most of the lab hour, if not the whole lab, just to do the installation and file download, especially if you are on wireless network, and thus you won't be able to get too far on the actual lab.
