The easiest way to learn how to program

[T.Jackson]

FYI, I found this at alice.org -

If then go to any object's questions and scroll down to "other", you'll find the question called "object"'s part named "key". This question lets you any part on an object--whether it's there or not (it will throw an error if you try to reference a part that doesn't exist, so be aware of that when using it).

Thanks for pointing that out. Has a sort of like "instance of" function I guess. It's quite confusing the way that's worded, seems like there's missing words or something.

No kidding! None the less.... I downloaded Alice storytelling for my 12 yr old and he loved it. He's never been exposed to any programming, except the stuff I do around the house. (Which nobody in our household finds cool, but me) He would have been working with it until midnight if we let him. I'm hoping it will give him a foundation for programming even if he doesn't realize it. Thanks for posting the link!

No problems. I certainly feel very good knowing that I've made someone happy. Shame the project is no longer being updated.

I have three kids playing with this. They think it is much more fun than blinking LEDs
Thanks for sharing it Trent.

But I wonder what you mean.

No problems. Opps, I think I jumped the gun with that statement about it no longer being updated. The splash screen is dated 2005, so an assumption was made.

Well I would have been disappointed if you were correct. I can see this being I will use with my kids even if they did stop development.

Another interesting thing. The system requirements state Win 200, XP, Vista. Storytelling Alice also runs on Win98. The box has a 266mhx cpu and 96 mb ram.

Now I know what to do with my junk pile. I will soon have the neighbor hood kids busy.

Very impressive -- definitely part of what the future holds. Unfortunately Alice isn't a commercial programming language, it's purely intended to be an educational "tool".
