Compiler Error C2360  I was getting this error after I added another case to a switch statement. This link proved to be helpful in rearranging those silly {}’s.

 I am currently running the 2010 Beta 2 version of Visual Studio.

Alice 3.0 Beta Tester

I am very excited that our new class CIS 159 Programming in Alice will be beta testing Alice 3.0 software.  You may have been following my earlier post:  http://www.perceptivepetal.com/wordpress/?p=156

We made the final cut, and I’m heading out to Carnegie Mellon University in January to prepare for the testing.  I am very thankful and excited to be a part of this.

I’m on the List!

My classmates Sean and Kristy, the recommendations from Dr. Gibson on “The Last Lecture,” and our game development curriculum grant inspired me to dig further into the Alice Programming Language.  As a result, I submitted to be a beta tester for Alice 3.0 Spring 2009.  To do this we need to offer a course in Alice, and visit Carnegie Mellon to have an orientation (myself and a teaching assistant), and agree to submitting any bug reports we encounter.  As many of my students know, I pretend to have a “hot line” to Bill Gates when we encounter problems within the Visual Studio.NET product.  It would be really nice to “actually” have a hotline with the Alice folks.  We’ll see what develops!

I just received notification that I have been added to the beta email list for Alice v 3.0!
