Our ALICE project is a game that teaches the player skills about and how to program. Level 1 Level 1 takes place in the community pool of the Land of Programming. The lady at the pool will ask you some questions on compilers and different types of programming languages. Level 2 Level 2 takes place in the savanna of the Land of Programming. The baby rhino will ask you questions about computer anatomy like hardware and software Level 3 In Level 3 you will go to the desert of the Land of Programming and this.oldladyquestioner a.k.a. Oldy will ask you questions about Encryption and Depiction Fundamentals. Program Development It all started when Denise and Alondra started making a pool with pizza car crash in front of it. (Alondra loves pizza) Then we thought that we needed a theme for our program. Ximena and Alondra then decided we would call it, ¨The Land of Programming¨ With King Phoenix. The biggest problem was we were all new to programming and were lost and didn’t know what to do. Another, problem had was that we had to figure out alice 3 before starting our actual program. So, we had a really late start. How to Play the Game When you start the game the king of the Land of Programming King Phoenix will talk to you and explain to you about the banquet of programming and about how different community members will ask you different questions. After his beginning speech you will move on to level 1. To answer each question, press True or False. Do the same (Press True or False) in Level 2 and 3. After all the levels, you will go to the banquet of programming. After the words that say, ¨Welcome to the Banquet of Programming!¨ disappear you may press enter to restart. Member Contribution In our group everyone did part of our project. Alondra and Denise did most of the scene setup and Ximena did a lot of the questions and research. Also, everybody did some of the programming and everybody included their ideas for the levels.
