The problem I'm having is that it seems the delay between clicking the item and inserting the number is too much, and can cause inaccuracies when objects are clicked too quickly.

Is there any way to speed up insertion? ]]> How do I...? akelly http://www.alice.org/community/showthread.php?t=3431 chapter 8 exercise 2 http://www.alice.org/community/showthread.php?t=3430&goto=newpost Fri, 20 Nov 2009 17:25:50 GMT Does anyone have the code for chapter 8 exercise 2-butterfly chase?

I am trying to get started with Netbeans and Alice. I have installed the following plugin

Version: 3.0.0.64.1
Source: Alice3ProjectWizard3.0.0.64.1.nbm

Netbeans V6.7.1

When I run the Hello World test file I get this error:
"Can Not find Alice Move and Turn Gallery in its expected location:
/Applications/Programming/Alice/3.beta.0000/gallery"

Specify Actual Gallery Location

I do not have a directory /Applications/Programming nor am I able to find an Alice/.../.../Gallery directory on the system, that I can find.

In my Netbeans Projects Tab, Libraries - I can see the Alice 3 Libraries including the "moveandturn.jar" Hell if I can find them via Finder,Spotlight, or the Terminal

I would appreciate your suggestions, and hopefully a solution as to how to find and set the correct path/setting or whatever needs to be done. ]]> Questions and Comments jmfhm http://www.alice.org/community/showthread.php?t=3425 How to http://www.alice.org/community/showthread.php?t=3424&goto=newpost Thu, 19 Nov 2009 22:51:23 GMT So i have a program that has an event that when the mouse clicks on an object Zeus(my character) does a method, the problem is if you click on another object while the method is running, it messes up the entire program.

I want to make it so that when a key is pressed within, say 2 seconds, a sequence of events is initiated that leads to the player winning while if not pressed the player dies. I know I'll need an if/else statement in the method but don't know how to use a key stroke to return true if hit in the allotted time. Hope that makes sense. Appreciate any help.
