computer program - Answers Is a sequence of instructions that
tells a computer how to perform a specific task.
computer programming - Answers Designs and implements creative solutions to address
human needs.
In computer programming, problem solving begins with the goal of
writing code to perform a task and often involves repeated steps.
Problem-Solving steps 1st - Answers Analyze the task
Problem-Solving steps 2nd - Answers design a plan
Problem-Solving steps 3rd - Answers implement the design
Problem-Solving steps 4th - Answers test
animated scenes - Answers need to understand what
part of the story we want to tell is background details and what part involves
Objects and actions
background information - Answers includes environment descriptions and motivations
behind a character's actions
Design a plan - Answers develop an algorithm (Storyboarding) and set design (Scene
setup).
Set Design (Scene Setup) - Answers Adapting text to animation requires figuring out visual
aspects writing cannot describe. In animation, a sequence of frames representing
the screen is called a storyboard.
storyboard - Answers depicts the action, expressions, and camera changes over time.
frame - Answers sketched by hand or if you are not artistic you can use Alice screen
shots, or drawing tools in a Word processor or other software to sketch each
frame. Frames sometimes includes a caption describing the intention of the
frame. The details of the sketches are minimal, with only enough to convey key
, story bits.
plot - Answers sequence of individual frames connecting the actions together
Algorithm - Answers Consists of a step-by-step list of actions that provides a description of
how to perform a task.
Class - Answers is a computer file containing instructions that tell Alice how to construct
and display a specific type of object. A class also defines actions (behaviors) that
this type of object knows how to perform.
Gallery - Answers has six tabs in which the classes are organized to make it easier to
locate a specific type of object.
Code statement - Answers an instruction
Object Declaration - Answers a line of code that tells Alice to create an object and
add it to a scene.
Object - - Answers An object is an entity that has an identity and a state (defined by
one or more properties).
Default - Answers - in computer programming the term default is used to describe a
built-in preselected value. In Alice the default name for an object is the
same as the name of the class except that it begins with a lowercase letter.
You may accept the default name or enter a different name
Save Default location - Answers Where your files will be saved when you click save /
save as unless you select a different location.
Executed instructions - Answers instructions that are performed when a the program
Keyword - Answers is a reserved word in a programming language with a predefined
meaning.
Marker - Answers is like a piece of tape on the set of a stage for filming or
theater productions. The marker remembers the "spot" where the camera or
