2. Traditional Problem Solving in CS
Read and understand the problem or task specification
Design a solution (develop an algorithm)

3. Designing a Solution in Alice
To create a design, we borrow the idea of storyboards from professional animators at Disney, Pixar, etc.

4. Recall…. Princess Escape
A princess has been grounded by her father (a wizard) and kept inside the castle. Being a rather rebellious princess, she has ed the local dragon taxi service. The dragon will fly to the princess and she will climb aboard the dragon to escape from the castle – to meet some friends at the village dance club.
