Lab 9: 3D Animation through Object-Oriented Programming

By the end of this lab, you will be able to:

• Understand the ideas behind Object-Oriented Programming
• Understand how to make a simple 3D animation in Alice

In Lab 8 we gave you an introduction to object-oriented programing, and you used Java's object-oriented style to define your recursive objects. In this lab we introduce you to a different programming environment that is object-oriented and ask you to use object creation and manipulation in more sophisticated ways. Your objects will be 3D graphics and the manipuations will allow you to create short animations.
