Move and animate notebook

This is a notebook with some simple behaviours for movement and animation to use in the modelling activities.

All of these behaviours are for deterministic motion.

How to use it:

  • Test the behaviours by pressing "space".
  • If you find a behaviour to use for your own picture, just suck them out and place them on the floor, then flip and place them at the back of your own picture.
  • Some of the robots will need to change pictures in its boxes. For instance, some robots want to have several versions of the same picture (one facing to the left and one to the right... etc). Look in the robots box and try to figure out what you need to chang.
  • All example-backgrounds have a "reset"-robot at its back, meaning that they will reset to its original state as soon as you stop them (by pressing "."). If you like, you can use this behaviour at the back of your own model.
