  • Below is sample of an infinite loop using the Do-together and Do-in-order blocks in Alice.
    • In this scenario, an infinite loop must be used because a clock in the room should be continuously animated throughout the scene.
    Do together:
Loop (infinity times) times
(clock.minute) roll (left) (1 revolution)
(clock.hour) roll (left) (0.08 revolutions)
Do in order
(teacher) turn (left) (0.25 revolutions)
(teacher) move (forward) (2 meters)
(teacher) turn (right0 (0.5 revolutions)
