What's next?

Creating and animating an Alice world consists of two very distinct steps. 

The first step, (setting the stage) simulates a manual process of

• Painting scenery
• Selecting costume colors
• Putting the players, the scenery, and other objects in position on the stage
• Getting ready for the curtain to rise, or the cameras to roll.

The second step is to write the program to animate the world causing the players to behave according to plan.

In the next lesson, I will show you how to use the Alice development environment to set the stage for your animated worlds.
