I'm not familiar with Alice. But in the languages I've used to do similar things, you wouldn't use a while statement; instead, one technique would be to start turning left when the left key is pressed; and then stop when either that key is released, or a key to counteract it is pressed.<br />
So it's really a set of state variables, and if-statements.<br />
<br />
Hopefully that gives you an idea..?

How do i get the while command to work. &nbsp;I want the car to turn left when the left key is held down. and then similarly to back, forward and right. &nbsp;I'm just trying, not sure anyone would have reason to know Alice. &nbsp;This is for a class.<br />

Thanks<br />

I am using the alice programing enviornment to make a race car game

Computer games are video games played on a personal computer, mobile device or video game console. Their defining characteristics include a lack of any centralized controlling authority, a greater degree of user control over the video-gaming hardware and software used and a generally greater capacity in input, processing, and output.

Computer Games

Game programming is the software development of video games. Game programming requires substantial skill in software engineering as well as specialization in simulation, computer graphics, artificial intelligence, physics, audio programming, and input. Like other software, game development programs are generated from source code to the actual program by a compiler. Source code can be developed with almost any text editor, but most professional game programmers use a full integrated development environment (IDE).
