Practising ALICE
Nine Questions – Practical Alice Questions for Review
1.
Given is a textual storyboard. Implement the storyboard in Alice.
a)
Scenario:
place an alien into a world.
b)
Make this procedure.
alienRightStep – this is a world-level procedure
do together
alien moves forward 1 duration 2
do together
do in order
alien left leg hip joint turn forward .1 revolution
alien left leg hip joint turn backward .1 revolution
do in order
alien right leg hip joint turn backward .1 revolution
alien right leg hip joint turn forward .1 revolution
c)
Call this in the myFirstMethod
count 5 times
alienRightStep
2.
a)
Add alienLeftStep to your world. Exactly the same as Rightstep except everything is
reversed.
do together
alien moves forward 1 duration 2
do together
do in order
alien right leg hip joint turn forward .1 revolution
alien right leg hip joint turn backward .1 revolution

count 5 times
alienRightStep
alienLeftStep
1. a)
Write the storyboard for this Alice program given. The objects that have been
added (instantiated) into the world are the marchHare and the madHatter. Both Alice in
Wonderland characters.
Page 3 of 25
b)
4.
a)
What happens when this program is run (executed)?
Write a textual storyboard to create a method called swim.
Senario:
A fish is placed into a world. In order to swim forward it needs to swim simultaneously up (a
positive or minus value) and forward.
Page 4 of 25
e.g. If the fish moves up 1 and forward 1 both at the same time
If the fish moves up -1 (it actually moves down) and forward at the same time
b)
Implement your storyboard in Alice. Call your method in myFirstMethod multiple
times.
5.
Change your storyboard for the previous question in order to cause more than one fish to
use this swim method. Call this parameter whichFish and make its type Swimmer.
Implement this in Alice and call it for multiple fish.
6.
Add two more parameters to the method swim in the previous question.
howFarUp type decimal and
howFarForward type decimal.
Implement this in Alice and call it for multiple fish for multiple distances.
Page 5 of 25
Extension Exercise. Have the fish move up and forward a random number between 0 and 2.
7.
Write a storyboard and Alice program to move an character in a figure 8 around 2
objects. Use the “as seen by” option.
8.
Your Choice!
Write a textual storyboard and an Alice program to write movement methods.
(walk, or run, or hop)
Choose an animal or person that has the ability to move, turn and roll and can use
their legs, arms or wings. Write this as a method that is called in myFirstMethod.

A student has made the following code to show an image, but all that shows on her
Page 24 of 25
browser is a broken link. What could possibly be the error? List three possibilities.
<img src=”pic.bmp”>
The image might be spelled differently e.g. pic.jpg
The picture may not be saved in the same folder as the html file.
The picture may not be in a format that can be viewed on a webpage.
4.
A student makes all the code for a webpage change, but when she views the page,
nothing seems changed. What is the likely reason?
The student may have saved her html file as a txt file by mistake.
The student may not have saved the file in the correct folder so she may be changing the
html file in one folder and viewing a similar file form another folder location.
5.
Why did we use CSS for our web pages?
We used CSS so we could easily change the formatting of multiple pages and portions of
pages.
The following is a summary of good design using web pages
The website is interesting to read and holds the visitor's attention. Writing
is simple, clear, direct, and in an active voice. Paragraphs are well structured
and there is a logical flow from one paragraph to the next, and from one page
to the next.
Images and other graphical elements make a valuable contribution to the
appearance, are used consistently on most pages, and contribute to the
overall flow of the information.
The pages show an exceptional attention to the visual elements (contrast,
consistency, simplicity, style). The page loads quickly.
The website is clear and easy to navigate.
