Homework 3 - Due Monday 19 February at 11:59pm.

  2.  
  3. (Hw3Ex2.a2w) Create a simple Alice world to fly a pterodactyl instead of a plane. There is a pterodactyle in the Animals folder in the Local Gallery. You could build a method to flap its wings, and then use this as an event handler for an event while the world is in motion. You will need to answer the following questions for yourself in order to complete this exercise: Do the wings need to turn or roll? Should they go up and then down, or down and then up? How far should they move? Please be creative with the background in this world. You might want to explore special effects such as fog. Save to K drive.
  4.  
  5. (Hw3Ex3.doc) Find a book or collection of web sites with information on how to make films or videos so that you can learn more about camera movements, angles, etc. to improve your Alice worlds. Write a two page report (single-spaced, 1-inch margins) on your findings. Save your report as an MS Word document on the K drive.
