Alice quick notes

1. Link to an overview of the objects in Alice
   
   
2. I've also stashed a Word doc that describes Alice - it might be a useful resource as you work on the project. Click here to go to the class files stash - you'll see it loose in my main folder.
   
   
3. Regarding poses - I don't know why what I tried in class didn't work, but here's something that will:
   • Open up the Method where you want the change to occur (say, the world.myfirstmethod that is always there)
     
   • Click on the object you want to change in teh objects list - top left box (say, the cat)
     
   • Click on the "Properties" tab, on the bottom left section
   • Pick a property to change (say, color)
   • Drag the COLOR property into the Method.
     
   • A pull-down will popup where you can set WHAT color. There are also MORE options (time, gently vs. abrupt, etc).
