Assignment 1- Getting started with Alice

[sella18]

Assignment 1 was pretty simple to do. I was a little concern about how to navigate the program, but it turned out to be very user friendly. It definitely reminds me of sims with how the characters look. The gallery is pretty straight forward as is choosing the backgrounds. I had a little trouble figuring out how to position the objects when you first insert them, but after playing around a little I got the hang of it.

The object tree is nice especially how it breaks down parts of the objects. Being able to see the statements is helpful some of the extra details attached to those such as "is scaled by" I still haven't figured out. There is a decent amount of methods to choose from so you can make objects do a lot. I feel like Alice is a great learning tool.
