This page will continue to be updated. Any suggestions for questions to be included are welcome. Send your thoughts to Suggestions

 

  • Unable to rename methods on the Mac OS X versions of Alice 2.3 -- Press <control> + mouse-click on the methods tile to be able t rename the event. This is legacy from when Mac OS only had a 1 button mouse. We will work on fixing this.

 

  • Tutorial Related 
    • The fourth tutorial in Alice 2.x, page 19 (adding the beach chair into the scene), shows an error, even when the chair is added correctly. It is possible to bypass the error message by clicking on next in the tutorial navigation window, and continuing through the rest of the tutorial.
    • On Page 69 of the Penguin Tutorial, if you click on the black space above and below the picture, Alice throws an error
    • Starting tutorials with the Properties or Functions tab in focus in the World's details will cause the tutorials to break

  

  • Alice 2.3 on a Windows 7 system. When clipboard sizes are set in the preferences, the clipboards are sometimes doubled and sometimes they have added different numbers of clipboards other than what the preferences were set for.  It never seems to stay at the original value entered. -- Under investigation

 

  • Using the File menu: Export Video command does not always work -- 
    •  There is a file menu option for exporting an Alice world to video. This option works well if there are no sound clips in the animation. Unfortunately with sound, our exporter does not recognize that an animation may be over, because the background music may still be playing. For example, if I have a 45 second animation, but I am using as background music a 3 minute and 15 second sound clip, then our exporter will want to record all 3 minutes and 15 seconds. We are working on resolving this problem at the present time.
    • See FAQ for Alice 2.3 for more information 

 

  • Sound-related
    • Alice can play most but not all mp3 and wav files

 

 

  • Export as a web page-related:
    • Export as a web-page menu item should be disabled as we have to determine the correct set of 3D Graphics libraries and plugins for browsers to support the display of Alice worlds

 

  • Miscellaneous:
    • Alice does not handle large worlds (in terms of hard disk space) well
    • Alice gradually slows down after continued use

 

  • Event-related:
    1. Create a new event "Let the mouse move <list> and create a new list containing the ground
    2. Delete the ground object
