In case anyone is interested, my first Greenfoot simulation is online at
http://greenfootgallery.org/scenarios/173
I mention this because Greenfoot gives us a 2D preview of what Alice 3.0 can be in 3D once we get rid of the pseudo-language, and the full power of Java is exposed to the programmer.
By the way, your browser must support Java 1.5 or later for this applet to run in your browser.
