Why use Alice?
• In Alice's interactive interface, students drag and drop
graphic tiles to create a program, where the instructions
correspond to standard statements in a production
oriented programming language, such as Java, C++, and
C#.
• Alice allows students to immediately see how their
animation programs run, enabling them to easily
understand the relationship between the programming
statements and the behaviour of objects in their animation.
• By manipulating the objects in their virtual world, students
gain experience with all the programming constructs
typically taught in an introductory programming course.
