Room Remodel - ALICE Program

Room Remodel

Sometimes the hardest decision to make when repainting a room is choosing the color. Create a world that helps a person decide what color they should choose for their walls and carpeting. Make a room scene by using three squares (SHAPES) as the wall and add furniture (Furniture) to it. To get the look and feel of carpeting, add the moonSurface (Space) and use its texture for the floor. Create a list named wallColor (a list of type Color) and add five colors to the list. Create a second list of colors name floorColors and add five colors to the list. Use nested For all loops with the lists to show every possible combination for the wall and floor colors. Use a wait statement to allow the viewer to see a color combination a couple second before showing the next color combination

Pop the Balloon - ALICE program

Game: Pop the Balloon

This exercise builds on Project 5 from Chapter 6, the Random Sphere Catch Game. If you have already created the world for that project, you can add five additional spheres and then write the code for this exercise. If you did not previously create the world for the Random Sphere Catch Game, begin this exercise by first creating the game from Project 5 in Chapter 6. The moveAroundRandomly, disappear, and startGame methods should work as described in that project. In this new version of the game, you will use a list to make the code less complex and easier to understand. First, create a world-level list named spheres and add each of the 10 sphere objects to the list. Modify the startGame method to use a For all together to move around randomly all of the spheres in the list. When the mouse is clicked on anything call the disappear method. Modify the disappear method to use a For all in order to check if the item that was clicked was a sphere. If so, make it disappear. You may drop the smoke animation for this exercise, if you wish.

Solution:

In this game, the balloon pops when user clicks on it and this version of the game includes the smoke animation as well.

Bumper Cars - ALICE program

Bumper Cars

Create a simulation of the bumper car ride (Amusement Park), where the cars move continuously around within the bumper arena. Add two bumper cars inside the arena. In this animation, each car should be moving forward a small amount until it gets too close to another car or to the wall, then turn the car a quarter of a revolution clockwise (to get a different direction) and continue moving forward. Use a switch (Controls) to stop and start the ride. As long as the switch is on, the ride should continue.

Hint: To create new bumperCar objects, select one of the bumperCar objects in the object tree and then click on the copy icon in the mouse control palette. Be sure to click on the white arrow mouse control icon when finished creating copies (to turn off copy). To avoid a car driving through a wall of the arena, a simple form of collision detection is needed. One way to check for a possible collision is to use the distance to function to compute the distance of the car to the arena. Remember that distance to is measured “center-to-center.” In this world, a measurement from the center of the car to the center of the arena is= exactly what you need. (When a car gets too far from the center of the arena, it will collide with a wall.) It is also possible to write a function that returns whether two cars are about to collide with one another. What should be done in this case?

Blimp and Dragon - ALICE program

Blimp and Dragon

Create a scene as shown below with a blimp (Vehicle) and a dragon (Medieval). In this fantasy scene, the dragon has found a blimp and is curious. The dragon flies around the blimp to check it out. Write a program to have the dragon move to the blimp and then fly around it (lengthwise) three times.
