Alice 3.1 extensions
Currently Alice 3.1 is a wonderful product but woefully limited in one area that makes it seriously inferior to Alice 2.x.
PLEASE can we have an extension mechanism for Alice 3.1. Just a simple API by which Alice 3.1 can inspect and call Java code in external JAR files coded to a specific set of interfaces. This would allow A3.1 to be extended in so many different ways that are currently not possible without migrating to Netbeans. For example: - Simple networked multi-player games. Java code could be written to provide a simple UDP communication mechanism. - Interfaces to game controllers. - String manipulation libraries. - I/O libraries - Database libraries It would allow the community to seriously expand Alice 3s usefulness without burdening the core team. |
