  3. How does it work? • ALICE allows you to write “programs” • A programming language is a way to communicate with the computer. ALICE is a programming language. • A program is the instructions you give the computer to follow. • Some other examples of programming languages are Java, C, C++, Python, SCRATCH, PHP, and many others.

  4. A Video Game • Throughout the week at GEMS you will write a program that is a video game. • There are several requirements for your game, but the most important one is to have fun making it!

  5. RULES FOR YOUR GAME • Must be science-related. (Example: If your character is a frog, it is science related because frogs are important in Biology. ) • Must be non-violent. (i.e. No shooting, no killing, no exploding, no squishing, no spontaneous combustion.) • Must have a play time of under 5 minutes. This is because we have a limited amount of time for you to present your game. • Must be something you would be proud to show your parents. • Must have a goal/topic. This goal/topic must be approved by the GEMS instructors. • Must be developed in a pair or group assigned by the GEMS instructors.

  6. TIPS • Dialogue-- in ALICE, you have the option to have characters “say” or “think” things. To keep your play time short, don’t include many of these. Instead, make your characters move to show how they are communicating or thinking. • Interactivity-- To make the game more interesting, allow the user to interact with the game at all times. Avoid long amounts of time where the user is not really “playing.” • Natural Movements-- Try to make the movements of your characters as natural as possible by examining how you move and applying those observations to your character.
