Default NEED HELP Project 3.3 - 10-07-2011, 04:47 PM

I need help with Alice Project 3.3 from page 102.

Our teacher (for an intro class) crammed 3 Alice lessons in to one day and I am now lost. We don't get graded on completing them but at the end of the semester I'll need how to know all the ins and outs. Does anyone have a 3.3 file that is correctly finished ?

We don't generally post homework assignments to the forums, but if you describe 3.3 in more detail, we can help you out.

3.3
Build a person. For your person define an object method name walkInsquare() that has a parameter named edgeLength.
When walkInsquare (dist) is sent to your person, he should walk in a square with edges that are each DIST meters long.

So basically, I need to have a person, ask the user for a number and then apply that given number to all four "edges" of the square he walks.

So, I'm assuming you know how to make a person using the people creator

So, make the person, and in your method, make a parameter for a number. Then you need to have the person move forward that number of meters, probably doing together with the walk inborn method, turn left 1/4 revolution, repeat 3 more times.
