Alice is an innovative 3D programming environment that makes it easy to
create an animation for telling a story, playing an interactive game,
or a video to share on the web. Alice is a teaching tool for
introductory computing. It uses 3D graphics and a drag-and-drop
interface to facilitate a more engaging, less frustrating first
programming experience.
In Alice's interactive interface, students drag and drop graphic tiles
to create a program, where the instructions correspond to standard
statements in a production oriented programming language, such as Java,
C++, and C#. Alice allows students to immediately see how their
animation programs run, enabling them to easily understand the
relationship between the programming statements and the behavior of
objects in their animation. By manipulating the objects in their
virtual world, students gain experience with all the programming
constructs typically taught in an introductory programming course.
